Scientists have discovered more than 140 medications that alter the gut microbiome, forcing bacteria to compete for nutrients, a phenomenon known to cause an intestinal imbalance and prompt cancer-promoting inflammation.

Stanford University researchers focused on common medications that impact the vast array of microbes in the gut, with potentially far-reaching consequences for metabolism, immune system response and overall health.

They found that potentially deadly changes in the gut result from certain medications killing off populations of bacteria and changing gut biome.

The impactful drugs included 51 antibiotics, certain chemotherapy medicines, antifungal medications and antipsychotics used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
