Drug Administration Through an Enteral Feeding Tube
Copyright policy )Drug Administration Through an Enteral Feeding Tube

This can lead to medication error and tube obstruction, reduced drug effectiveness, and an increased risk of toxicity. This article describes the factors to consider before administering a drug through a feeding tube, examines the gap between recommended and common practice, and discusses what the most recent guidelines recommend and why.
