Title: Herb-Drug Interactions- What is Clinically Relevant?
Speaker: Amanda McQuade Crawford
Reliability of interaction reports are related to the myths and fears of herb usage in general. Actual reports of herb-drug interactions are described, with specific examples. Effects reported include increasing absorption of drugs, worsening side- effects of drugs, lessening side effects (as in chemotherapy), interactions with anticoagulants and more. The summary at the end helps to differentiate between real concerns and theoretical ones.
