UNLABELLED: Enteral nutrition support via a feeding tube is the first choice for artificial nutrition. Most patients also require simultaneous drug therapy, with the potential risk for drug-nutrient interactions which may become relevant in clinical practice. During enteral nutrition, drug-nutrient interactions are more likely to occur than in patients fed orally. However, there is a lack of awareness about its clinical significance, which should be recognised and prevented in order to optimise nutritional and pharmacological therapeutic goals of safety and efficacy. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To raise the awareness of potential drug-nutrient interactions and influence on clinical outcomes. To identify factors that can promote drug-nutrient interactions and contribute to nutrition and/or therapeutic failure. To be aware of different types of drug-nutrient interactions. To understand complex underlying mechanisms responsible for drug-nutrient interactions. To learn basic rules for the administration of medications during tube-feeding.
