Drug-Nutrient Interactions in Transplant RecipientsDepartments of Pharmacy Practice & Medicine, Section of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine, Colleges of Pharmacy and Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois, neander{at}uic.edu Drug-nutrient interaction refers to an alteration of kinetics or dynamics of a drug or a nutritional element, or a compromise in nutritional status as a result of the addition of a drug. The potentials for drug—nutrient interaction increase with the number of drugs taken by the patient. Organ transplant recipients are therefore at high risk for drug-nutrient interactions because multiple medications are used to manage graft rejection, opportunistic infections, and other associated complications. Unrecognized or unmanaged drug-nutrient interactions in this patient population can have an adverse impact on their outcomes. This paper reviews the importance of recognizing drug-nutrient interaction when using cyclosporine-based regimens. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 25:132-141, 2001)
