Factors modifying drug action?
Can food affect drug action?
Yes, food can modify drug action. For instance, some medications are absorbed better on an empty stomach, while others are better absorbed when taken with food. Certain foods can also interfere with the way a medication is metabolized in the body. For example, grapefruit juice can interfere with the action of certain enzymes in the liver, leading to higher levels of medication in the blood.
