Drug interactions in African herbal remedies.

Drug metabolism and drug interactions - 1 Jan 2011

Cordier Werner, Steenkamp Vanessa

Abstract excerpt

Herbal usage remains popular as an alternative or complementary form of treatment, especially in Africa. However, the misconception that herbal remedies are safe due to their "natural" origins jeopardizes human safety, as many different interactions can occur with concomitant use with other pharmaceuticals on top of potential inherent toxicity. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are highly polymorphic, and pose a problem...
