Drug-Nutrient Interactions in the Elderly

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Human Nutrition ((HUNU,volume 6))

Abstract

Drug-nutrient interactions include physicochemical, physiological, and pathophysiological events that are inherent to drug usage (Roe, 1985a). These events, which are summarized in Table I, may affect the disposition of drugs and nutrients.
