Nadciśnienie tętnicze 2011;15(3):201-209.
Abstract
The purpose of antihypertensive drugs oral administration
is achievement their maximum concentration in the blood.
The good bioavailability is important to obtain the therapeutic
effectsuitable for the dose. The drug interaction with
food is one of the factors which impede the realization of
this objective. Interactions between food and drugs may
have a significant impact on the success of drug therapy
and the side effects of many drugs. The problem of fooddrug
interactions is discussed for several years, but it wasn’t
sufficiently exposed and known to both physicians and
pharmacists, because it still lacks broad research in this
field.
