Background:

Drug-nutrient interactions are common and can alter drug efficacy and safety.
Understanding these interactions is crucial for optimizing pharmacotherapy.
Metabolic and chemical interactions represent key mechanisms influencing these effects.

Purpose of the Study:

To comprehensively review drug-nutrient interactions.
To elucidate the metabolic mechanisms involved, specifically drug oxidation and conjugation.
To evaluate direct chemical interactions within the gastrointestinal tract.

Main Methods:

Literature review focusing on metabolic pathways.
Analysis of how nutritional status impacts drug metabolism (oxidation and conjugation).
