Drug-nutrient interactions

Article Abstract:

Interactions between food and drugs can have harmful effects on an individual's nutritional status and therapy effectiveness. The elderly are specially effected due to age-related change in their physiology and diet habits. The interactions either increase or decrease drug absorbtion. Drug bioavailability is effected by food directly binding to the drug or changing body physiology such as pH and blood flow. The excretion of drugs depends on their rate of metabolism in the body.
