Drug Nutrient Interactions Flashcards
Sulfasalazine (anti-inflammatory for UC or RA) inhibits
Folate metabolism
Methotrexate inhibits
Folate metabolism
TNF-a Antibody (biologic therapy, IBD) interacts with
Protein metabolism
Corticosteroids alter
Mineral metabolism
Protein metabolism (increased protein oxidation –> nitrogen losses)
Also can cause hyperglycemia and sodium retention
Neomycin - used for HE or SIBO
Partial villous atrophy of gut and steatorrhea
Cholestyramine
(bile acid sequestrant)
Deficiency of fat soluble vitamins
Given too close to med dosing = no chance to breakdown and use
Orlistat (weight control medication)
Steatorrhea
Deficiency of fat soluble vitamins
Octreotide (anti-diarrheal)
Deficiency of fat soluble vitamins through fat malabsorption
Mineral oil (laxative)
Deficiency of fat soluble vitamins
Lomitapide (lipid-lowering agent)
Deficiency of fat soluble vitamins
