Description
The proliferation of herbal remedies worldwide has most dangerously outpaced quality information on their safe use. This book fills a tremendous void by offering authoritative information on the actions of herbal remedies and the results of their interactions with standard medications. It offers specific, authoritative information with a conceptual approach that focuses not only on the specific interactions, but also on the mechanisms behind those interactions and their clinical significance. With contributions from leading experts on herb-drug interactions, the text examines the overall use of herbs, includes sections on individual herbs, and considers regulatory issues and concerns.
