This book's first edition (1997) was the first of its kind in addressing herbal interactions with drugs. This 4th edition keeps current with research findings and scrupulously distinguishes between what is known through (1) empirical clinical observations such as case reports, (2) data obtained from modern clinical human studies, (3) different types of laboratory research on animals and with tissues and cells. Over 2700 medical and scientific sources are cited to document these findings. In addition, the type of preparation studied is described to emphasize differences between preparations from the same herb, along with dosage size and duration. Conflicting results are utilized to put these issues in context. This fourth edition further highlights those combinations of herbal preparations with drugs shown to beneficially enhance therapeutic activity or reduce adverse effects, identified for 98 of the 321 herbs listed in the main text. In addition, extensive appendices organize information on these 321 and additional herbal remedies into categories addressing specific cautions, interactions with particular types of drugs, precautions for mothers, infants and children, drug interactions with vitamins and minerals, and advantageous combinations with medicines used for inflammations, infections, cancer, and for addressing substance abuse. The appendix sections addressing herbal influences on drug absorption and metabolism involving transport proteins, cytochrome P450 isoenzymes, and conjugating enzymes are the most extensive compilations available anywhere.

Herbal Contraindications and Drug Interactions Plus Herbal Adjuncts with Medicines 4th Edition 9781888483147 Medicine Health Science Books Reviews
- This is an excellent book. There is no book like it -- a comprehensive review of studies and reports on herb side effects, contraindications and drug interactions, negative and positive. Unlike many books that looks at the scientific literature, this one is discriminating about the significance of various reports and studies, and helpfully rates the information by the level of significance and credibility. This book has been a valuable tool in my clinical practice and as a student, and I recommend it for anyone practicing herbalism.

- This is an excellent book but requires careful reading as it is very detailed. I do love the many footnotes and book's arrangement.
- I've never believed in accepting the knowledge from just one source. When it comes to herbal medications, I always want to get that 2nd opinion. Great book here.
- Was a gift to someone highly interested Herbs.
- Very informative and easy to understand.
- I have found this publication helpful, yet even with a medical industry background the terminology is difficult at times.
- For my daughter
