Drug and nutrient interactions are complex and can take many forms, including malabsorption of either the drug or the nutrient component. Some drugs can stimulate or suppress appetite, whereas others can cause nausea and vomiting resulting in inadequate nutritional intake. Absorption of drugs is a complex process that can be affected by the physical characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) as well. Depending on the physical properties of a drug, it may be absorbed in a limited area of the GIT or more diffusely along much of the entire length. Many diseases and conditions are also known to affect the GIT either directly or indirectly. Dietary factors also need to be considered when the "food" is an enteral formula. The widespread use of enteral tubes requires that consideration be given to patients receiving both enteral feedings and medication concurrently. The location of a tube in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the problems involved in crushing and administering solid dosage forms, creates a unique set of problems.
