Drug-nutrient Interaction: A Review [interação Fármaco-nutriente: Uma Revisão]

Diet influences the whole life cycle, supplying nutrients required to maintain the human body. Functional and/or structural alterations, caused by diseases and acute or chronic infections, lead to the use of drugs in order to restore the health. The oral route is preferred for drug administration, owing to safety and convenience, among other reasons. The drug-nutrient interaction phenomenon can occur before or during gastrointestinal absorption, during distribution and storage in the tissues, in the biotransformation process, or even during excretion. Thus, to know the drugs whose rate of absorption and/or absorbed amount can be affected in the presence of food, as well as those that are not affected, is of fundamental importance. On the other hand, a number of commonly used drugs, including antibiotics, antacids and laxatives, can cause malabsorption of nutrients. Therefore, the objective of this article is to present a review of the several aspects involved in the drug-nutrient interaction.152223238Anderson, K.E., Conney, A.H., Kappas, A., Nutrition and oxidative drug metabolism in man: Relative influence of dietary lipids, carbohydrate, and protein (1979) Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 26 (4), pp. 493-501. , St. Louis MOAnderson, K.E., Conney, A.H., Kappas, A., Nutritional influences on chemical biotransformations in humans (1982) Nutrition Reviews, 40 (6), pp. 161-171. , New YorkAnderson, K.E., Influences of diets and nutrition on clinical pharmacokinetics (1988) Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 14 (6), pp. 325-346. , AucklandBarreiro, E.J., Fraga, C.A.M., (2001) Quimica medicinal: As bases moleculares da ação dos fármacos, p. 243. , Porto Alegre: ArtmedBasile, A.C., Implicaçsões clínicas das interferências alimento-medicamento-alimento na geriatria (1988) Folha Médica, 97 (3), pp. 187-193. , Rio de JaneiroBasile, A.C., Fármaco e alimentos (1994) Medicamentos e suas interações, pp. 157-188. , Seizi-Oga, I., Aulus, C.B.
