Abstract

Currently, the evaluation of drug interactions is increasingly in importance in the clinical activity in hospitals. In this context, drug-food interactions gain prominence due the potential of causing harm to the health of hospitalized patients. Thus, this study aims to identify potential drug-food interactions of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Sergipe (HU – UFS) . The study was an observational, cross-sectional, prospective study of medical records of patients admitted to psychiatric units and clinic of the HU - UFS. 100 % of the records analyzed did not contain guidance or description of  possible interactions with diet. Each chart analysis had a mean 9,56 medicines per patient. Among the drugs used by the patients, 20 have possible interactions with foods, average drug-food interactions was 3,46. Given the above, we can infer the need for actions that promote interdisciplinary health professionals in order to detect and prevent possible drug-food interactions.
