Abdul Wahid Azmatullah Khan, Pavankumar D. Chopade*, Komal Nandlal Gupta and Vedant Bipin Samant
ABSTRACT
Herb-drug interactions (HDIs) are crucial in healthcare due to the growing popularity of combining herbal supplements with traditional medications. These interactions can alter drug effectiveness or increase toxicity through pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways. Pharmacokinetic HDIs involve changes to drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters, affecting absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Conversely, pharmacodynamic HDIs occur when herbs interact with drug targets, impacting therapeutic outcomes. To manage HDIs, a holistic approach is vital, requiring thorough patient assessments, provider knowledge, patient education, reference to reliable sources, and regulatory support for informed decision-making.
