Abstract
The relationship between a patient's diet and their prescription drug regimen is a critical but often overlooked factor in patient care. Certain foods, dietary supplements, and herbal remedies can significantly impact the absorption, metabolism, and efficacy of many commonly prescribed medications. Failure to properly account for these diet-drug interactions can lead to suboptimal treatment outcomes, adverse side effects, and even serious safety concerns for patients. This comprehensive review examines the current state of research on the complex interplay between patient diet and drug interactions. We will explore the underlying physiological mechanisms, highlight key examples of clinically relevant diet-drug interactions, and discuss strategies for healthcare providers to effectively manage these important considerations in clinical practice.
