Drug-Nutrient Interactions/Reactions Flashcards
Contraceptive w/ Estrogen:
Inhibit absorption of FOLATE (b9), Vitamin A, Vitamin C
Estrogens:
Accelerate calcium and magnesium deposition into bone
Amlodipine: Calcium Channel Blockers (HYPERTENSION)
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
Watch grapefruit + Pomegranate consumption (Impacts CYP450 Enzyme, CYP3A4)….
*Over half of drugs available on the market are metabolized by CYP3A4; Grapefruit is selective to Intestinal CYP3A4 inhibitors. When Grapefruit is ingested with a number of medications, CYP3A4 enzymes are deactivated/destroyed. This leads to a 5-fold increased exposure level of the drug in circulation.
(ACE) inhibitors Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (hypertension)
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
Chelates/inhibits IRON
Depletes ZINC (increases Zinc excretion)
***Inhibit POTASSIUM excretion (holds potassium) = HYPERKALEMIA
ART Medications
*antiretroviral therapy (HIV)
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
St. John’s Wort (and Garlic) interfere w/ Blood levels of ART medication (decreasing efficacy of drug)
Atorvastatin (Cholesterol, Statin)
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
Statins deplete CoQ10, Metformin, B12, Vitamin D and compete with H2 Blockers/PPI
Grapefruit Juice: Increases serum atorvastatin; induces CYP3A4; Increases plasma atorvastatin
St. John’s Wort Increases LDL/ TTL Chol
Red Yeast Rice: Similar in structure to statins; mold growing on rice; mold = HMG (low Coq10 also incurred by red yeast rice)
HMG coa REDUCTASE.
Common botanicals/herbs/foods that interacts w/ statins/other cytochrome P450 drugs:
Ginseng, therapeutic doses of garlic, ginkgo
Inhibit regulatory enz. In Pathway of CoQ10 synthesis
Anticoagulants (warfarin, coumadin):
*Competes with Vitamin K for binding sites; inhibits synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and coagulation inhibitor proteins.
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
High vitamin K intake decreases drug effects vitamin K bioavailability also affected by high dose vitamin E
Inconsistent vitamin K intake leads to inconsistent levels/action of Warfarin.
Ginkgo biloba: Potentiates action of anticoagulants
Black currant: Antithrombonic and is an “anticoagulant herb”
Interfere with D activation and osteoblast function

Interfere with D activation and osteoblast function
Antihypertensives (methyldopa):
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
Inhibit enz req’ B6; inhibit enz req’ CoQ10; Grapefruit increases drug absorption
Antihypertensives (methyldopa):
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
Inhibit enz req’ B6; inhibit enz req’ CoQ10; Grapefruit increases drug absorption
BETA-BLOCKERS
Antihypertensives
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
inhibit enz req’ CoQ10; Melatonin
Chelates/prevents absorption of Ca
Hypocholesterolemics (cholestyramine):
(clofibrate):
(colestipol):
CHOLESTEROL, HEART
Lowers absorption of vitamin B12; Binds bile acid, cholesterol, bile salts, nutrients; Lowers digestion/absorption of fatty acid, fat-sol. Vitamins, iron, and B-carotene
Interferes with absorption of vitamin B12, vitamin A, D, E
Binds/promotes bile acid excretion; lowers fatty acid/fat-sol. Vitamin absorption
Anthracyclines / chemo
(chemotherapy drugs):
IMMUNE, CANCER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Inhibits endogenous synthesis of CoQ10
Methotrexate (cancer drug); Used for RA/Cancer (Antineoplastic)
IMMUNE, CANCER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Folate antagonist (potentiate the effects of biologics (will be put on methotrexate along w/ biologic drugs and will be placed on high amounts of folate); B12, CALCIUM; Arrests enterocyte mitosis, causing structural defects and enzyme deficiencies in intestine,
Methotrexate (cancer drug); Used for RA/Cancer (Antineoplastic)
IMMUNE, CANCER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Folate antagonist (potentiate the effects of biologics (will be put on methotrexate along w/ biologic drugs and will be placed on high amounts of folate); B12, CALCIUM; Arrests enterocyte mitosis, causing structural defects and enzyme deficiencies in intestine,
ANTIBIOTICS (Tetracyclines)
Amoxicillin
IMMUNE, CANCER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Magnesium, Vitamin K
Dairy; Iron (decreases drug absorption), B-vitamins, K, Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Probiotics/Enterobiotics
Anticonvulsants (anti-seizure)
*psychiatrists use these for mood-stabilizing in Pt w/ Bipolar, etc
IMMUNE, CANCER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Impairs bioavailability of vitamin D, Folate, and B7, B12
Vitamin C decreases drug effects
Accelerates inactivation by liver and bile excretion; Lowers Ca absorption
St. John’s Wort
