Drug Drug Interactions

Drug/drug interactions, drug–drug interactions, or something else?

I hate the construction to begin with, but I'm in a position where I can't write around it. The original uses the slash, which I'm sure is wrong. But what's right?

I'm not sure. Chicago doesn't seem to cover stuff like this. But "drug-drug" (with a hyphen) is most common in Google search results.

Why do you need the second "drug," anyway? If it's an interaction, then there's already an implication that there's more than one.

Edit: Nevermind. I guess there are also things like drug-food interactions.

*votes for drug-drug interactions, mostly because that's what she's seen in chemical journals*

If someone were to make this into a computer game, I would readily give it a shot. :)
