Evidence of Drug–Nutrient Interactions with Chronic Use of Commonly Prescribed Medications: An Update

write about nutrient interactions

We came across this topic some time back and thought it would be good inspiration for a NutriScape.NET article written from the dietitian’s point of view. Here are some quick snippets you can follow.

The long-term use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs can induce subclinical and clinically relevant micronutrient deficiencies, which may develop gradually over months or even years. Given the large number of medications currently available, the number of research studies examining potential drug–nutrient interactions is quite limited. A comprehensive, updated review of the potential drug–nutrient interactions with chronic use of the most often prescribed medications for commonly diagnosed conditions among the general U.S. adult population is presented. For the majority of the interactions described in this paper, more high-quality intervention trials are needed to better understand their clinical importance and potential consequences. A number of these studies have identified potential risk factors that may make certain populations more susceptible, but guidelines on how to best manage and/or prevent drug-induced nutrient inadequacies are lacking. Although widespread supplementation is not currently recommended, it is important to ensure at-risk patients reach their recommended intakes for vitamins and minerals. In conjunction with an overall healthy diet, appropriate dietary supplementation may be a practical and efficacious way to maintain or improve micronutrient status in patients at risk of deficiencies, such as those taking medications known to compromise nutritional status. The summary evidence presented in this review will help inform future research efforts and, ultimately, guide recommendations for patient care.

Benicar Side Effects May Include Gluten Intolerance Symptoms

write about gluten intolerance

According to Mayo Clinic researchers and the FDA, the common hypertension medication Benicar may cause severe gluten intolerance symptoms in some people. I’ve mentioned this before on this site and to my newsletter subscribers, but since people are starting to file lawsuits, I thought I’d remind readers of this potential hidden cause of their symptoms. For the record, the lawsuits are not settled, won or lost yet, so I’m not implying guilt on the part of Benicar’s manufacturer, which is global pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo. Specifically, the hypertension drug Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) can cause sprue-like enteropathy, which mimics celiac disease.
