 INTERACTION OF FOODS AND DRUGS INVOLVING NUTRIENTS AND ENZIMES

Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 0, Vol 4, Issue 10

Abstract

 Healthcare providers, such as physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and dietitians, have to be aware of important fooddrug interactions in order to optimize the therapeutic efficacy of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs. Here, we review some of the most widely consumed fruits and vegetables to inform healthcare providers of possible nu‐ trient-drug interactions and their potential clinical significance. A Thousands of drugs are commercially available and a great percentage of the population takes at least one pharmacologically active agent on a regular basis. Given this magnitude of use and variability in individual nutritional status, dietary habits and food composition, there is a high potential for drug-nutrient interactions. However, there is a relatively short list of documented fruit-drug or vegetable-drug interactions, necessitating further and ex tensive clinical evaluation. There are currently few studies that combine a nutrient-based and detailed pharmacological approach , or studies that systematically explore the risk and benefits of fruit and vegetables. There are numerous patients who encounter increased risks of adverse events associated with drug-nutrient interactions. These include elderly patients, patients with cancer and/ or malnutrition, gastrointestinal tract dysfunctions, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and chronic diseases that require the use of multiple drugs, as well as those receiving enteral nu‐ trition or transplants. Therefore, the main reason for devoting a major review to nutrient-drug interactions is the enormous importance of fruits and vegetables used for their beneficial effects as nutrients and as components in folk medicine
