Abstract

Medical care is becoming increasingly complex, especially for the pediatric population in part because children with certain chronic diseases are living longer as a result of new medical treatments. Nutrition is exceedingly important in infants, children, and adolescents. Inadequate nutrition will directly affect growth, development, and puberty. Chronic medication use can result in depletion of certain nutrients, which in the growing infant, child, and adolescent can have long-term consequences. Drug-nutrient interactions (DNIs) occur between medications (prescription and nonprescription) and certain foods, fluids, and nutrient supplements. Many of these interactions are not significant, but some are serious. Health care professionals need to be aware of these interactions and must prevent their occurrence by educating themselves and their patients. It is through knowledge of these DNIs that one can help optimize therapeutic effects, prevent therapeutic failures, and minimize adverse drug events and DNIs (1).
