About this ebook
This document provides information on the critical technical issues related to interactions between herbal medicines and other medicines for health-care professionals, regulators, researchers, pharmacovigilance centres, manufacturers and consumers. The intention of this document is to provide as much concise information as possible, and to give direction and guidance on capitalizing resources to support informed decision-making and maximize the safe concurrent use of herbal medicines and other medicines.
The concepts of beneficial and harmful herb-drug interaction (HDI)s are introduced, with documented examples from the published literature. Types of HDI and their mechanisms are outlined, and the relevance of in vitro, general screening and in vivo tests is included. Challenges faced in evaluating and monitoring HDIs, data collection, assessment and dissemination of information are briefly discussed. The education and training of health professionals and consumers are addressed, together with potential research strategies for further investigation of the mechanisms, incidence, monitoring and management of HDIs.

I'm so surprised to find out that Google Books have big bunch of free e-books. After buying some online book covers from them. Also the paid book's copies are very much lower than the printed version. Good for me that I can access more covers with the same amount I would have to spend on the printed version. Very happy 😀
