Editors Note: Part One
of this article discussed mechanisms of food-drug interactions, pharmacodynamics,
nutrient kinetics, and the effects of food on drug pharmacokinetics. Part
Two offers information on the effects of drugs on nutritional status, including
information on the prospective and retrospective aspects of medical nutrition
therapy.
EFFECTS OF DRUGS ON NUTRITIONAL
STATUS
The desired effects of
medications often are accompanied by effects that we consider undesirable
or side effects. Side effects are often an extension of the desired effects,
such as bacterial overgrowth as a result of the use of an antibiotic. Overgrowth
of clostridium difficile (C diff) causes pseudomembranous colitis. Suppression
of natural oral bacteria may lead to oral yeast overgrowth or candidiasis. |
