FERREIRA, Sónia; CORREIA, Flora  e  SANTOS, Alejandro. Drug-Nutrient interactions in patients receiveing Enteral Nutrition: Review and Development of Risk-Minimizing Strategies. Arq Med [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.4, pp.154-163. ISSN 2183-2447.

The increasing use of enteral nutrition comes with new challenges, especially when the same device is used simultaneously as a route for drug administration. Therefore we are faced with the need to increase the knowledge about undesirable interactions of all stakeholders involved, in order to avoid the use of inadequate techniques of drug administration through feeding tube. Considering the above, there is an urgent need to develop tools able to analyse the viability of drug delivery through feeding tube. The idea behind this work was the development of computer software based on our theoretical database. This tool would be able to alert health practitioners about an imminent risk of drug-nutrient interaction when using this technique of delivery minimizing risk. This tool could operate as an interface with the electronic prescription program, alerting the prescriber about a possible risk of interaction enabling the choice of a more adequate route of administration or a change to a different drug or formulation.

Palavras-chave : Enteral Feeding; Drug Food Interaction; Feeding Tube.
