Drug Interactions with Herbal and Other Non-orthodox Remedies

  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Drug Interactions

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 122))

Abstract

Medicines derived from plants formed the majority of the earlier materia medica because chemically synthesised compounds were then not available. Many of these herbs have stood the test of time and critical clinical assessment and have found their way into the pharmacopoeias of orthodox medicines sometimes as the isolated and chemically standardised active ingredient. Such drugs as cocaine, colchicine, coumarin anticoagulants, digoxin, ephedrine, morphine, quinine and quinidine, reserpine, tubocurarine, sennosides, and the ergot and vinca alkaloids entered orthodox medicinal use by this route.
