Did you know that in addition to the active ingredients in a drug, its excipients can also greatly impact a patient’s nutritional health or cause side effects? With more and more patients being prescribed multiple medications it’s becoming increasingly important for every practitioner to have resources to help identify potential interactions. Today we are joined by Yvonne Coleman, a dietitian specialising in aged care who has investigated and created a vast compendium of drug-nutrient interactions for practitioners. She takes us through some of the issues in determining what these interactions might be, such as the limitations of pathology testing, as well as some of the most common drugs that affect nutritional status.
