There three that may be seen: an synergistic (adding to) effect, an antagonistic (acting against) effect and an accumulative (heaping) effect. The first and third are somewhat alike except that the accumulative effect takes a period of time. If you ate one donut and then ate 5 more later and got sick, that would be what the accumulative effect is like.
