Drug-induced malabsorption.

G F Longstreth, A D Newcomer

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |May 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Certain medications can impair nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract through various mechanisms. This drug-induced malabsorption is typically dose-related and affects multiple nutrients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pharmacology
    • Nutritional Science

    Background:

    • Pharmacologic agents can significantly impact the gastrointestinal absorption of nutrients and other substances.
    • Drug-induced malabsorption can arise from direct mucosal toxicity, enzyme inhibition, or interference with nutrient/drug physicochemical properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the mechanisms of drug-induced malabsorption.
    • To detail nine commonly used drugs or drug classes that cause malabsorption of nutrients or other medications.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of documented mechanisms of drug-induced absorptive defects.
    • Discussion of specific drug examples and their impact on nutrient absorption.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Identified four primary mechanisms of drug-induced malabsorption: direct toxicity, enzyme inhibition, micellar component binding, and physicochemical alteration.
    • Malabsorption is generally dose-dependent and affects multiple nutrients, with certain conditions like malnutrition predisposing individuals.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the mechanisms of drug-induced malabsorption is crucial for managing patients on multiple medications or with pre-existing conditions.
    • Nine common drugs/drug classes were identified as causing significant malabsorption, necessitating clinical awareness and potential intervention.
