Pediatric-Specific Approaches In Medication Therapy and Nutrition

Abstract

The needs, treatment methods, and reasons for hospitalization of pediatric patients generally differ from those of adults. These diseases also lead to significant changes in nutritional requirements. Changing needs are of great importance to pediatric patients. Nutritional problems caused by the drugs used during the treatment and food-drug and drug-drug interactions should also be taken into consideration. Acting according to the needs of pediatric patients facilitates the treatment process and improves recovery and quality of life. In this study, the aim is to draw attention to the importance of interactions between medications used in the treatment process of pediatric patients, interactions with the foods they consume, and the nutritional problems that arise during this process.

İlaç Tedavisi ve Beslenmede Pediatriye Özgü Yaklaşımlar

Abstract

Pediatrik hastaların gereksinimleri, tedavi şekilleri, hastaneye yatış sebepleri genelde erişkinlerde farklılık göstermektedir. Bu hastalıklar, beslenme gereksinimlerinde de önemli değişikliklere yol açmaktadır. Değişen gereksinimler pediatrik hastalar için büyük önem arz etmektedir. Uygulanan tedavide kullanılan ilaçların neden olduğu beslenme problemleri ve besin-ilaç, ilaç-ilaç etkileşimlerinin de dikkate alınması gerekmektedir. Pediatrik hastalarda gereksinimlerine göre hareket etmek tedavi sürecinde kolaylık sağlayarak iyileşmeyi ve yaşam kalitesinin artmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, pediatrik hastaların tedavi sürecinde kullanılan ilaçların birbiriyle etkileşimleri, tükettikleri besinlerle etkileşimi ve bu süreçte oluşan beslenme problemleri üzerinde durularak konunun önemine dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır.
