- Abstract
Background: Effective management of drug-food interactions is crucial for enhancing antibiotics' efficacy/safety. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review to assess the impact of dietary interventions on the bioavailability of 15 macrolides and 10 tetracyclines., Methods: We included studies examining the influence of food, beverages, antacids, and mineral supplements on the pharmacokinetic parameters of orally administered macrolides and tetracyclines. We searched Medline (via PubMed), Embase and Cochrane Library databases up to December 2022. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane and NIH tools. Quantitative analyses were conducted if two or more comparable food-effect studies were available; otherwise, a qualitative summary was provided., Results: We included 120 studies from 97 reports. Meta-analyses were conducted for 8 macrolides and 4 tetracyclines, with qualitative synthesis for 10 and 9, respectively. About 64% of the studies were open-label, crossover designs. Our assessment found that 37% of the studies had a high risk of bias, while only 6% had low risk. Food significantly affected 10 of 13 macrolides (77%) and 6 of 7 tetracyclines (86%). High positive effects on bioavailability were seen with extended-release azithromycin and clarithromycin, and erythromycin estolate. High negative impacts were observed with erythromycin propionate and stearate, azithromycin capsules, demeclocycline and omadacycline. Antacids and mineral supplements significantly decreased tetracyclines absorption. Milk and grapefruit juice showed variable impacts on absorption., Discussion: Interactions depend on antibiotics' physicochemical characteristics, intervention type, drug formulation and potential patient factors. The quality of evidence was rated low due to outdated studies, methodological diversity and unequal data availability., (© The Author(s) 2024.
