Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Food substances can enhance or inhibit the effects of drugs by interacting with enzymes or altering drug absorption. This can lead to increased side effects or decreased drug efficacy, potentially causing toxicity. Diarrhea, vomiting, and damage to cells are also possible adverse effects of drug-food interactions, but they do not specifically describe toxicity. Interference with the sense of smell is not a common mechanism of drug-food interactions.
