The College of Pharmacy at the University of Basrah hosted the clinical therapeutic nutrition specialist, Dr. Mohammed Yahya Al-Salman, to deliver an in-depth scientific lecture titled "The Relationship Between Nutrition and Drug Therapy", attended by a group of specialized faculty and researchers.
Dr. Al-Salman emphasized during his lecture that a well-studied dietary regimen represents the "backbone" of treatment protocols for non-communicable chronic diseases, particularly obesity, diabetes, lipid disorders, and hypertension. He noted that integrating strategies between treating physicians and nutritionists is of paramount importance for the success of patient recovery plans.
The lecture outlined joint coordination mechanisms, where physicians determine necessary nutrient quantities based on laboratory results, while nutritionists design and adjust dietary plans to align with those medical parameters, ensuring optimized drug response and health outcomes.
