Co-Administration of Medical Foods and Pharmaceuticals

The co-administration of a medical food and a generic drug provides physicians with a platform to address the symptoms of a disease as well as the underlying nutritional deficiencies associated with a specific disease. Clinical studies have indicated that a physician has the capability to optimize drug dose for specific patients with a specific disease when utilizing medical foods as an adjunct therapy.

Doses or levels of therapy often need to be adjusted based on the severity of illness or other metabolic characteristics of the patient's underlying condition. A medical food prescribed in conjunction with a pharmaceutical can help provide physicians with a flexible therapeutic range, allowing them the ability to optimize safe and effective treatments for individual patients. Positive clinical outcomes with a lower potential for adverse drug side effects can be achieved using the most appropriate FDA approved dose of a generic drug in conjunction with a medical food.
