Herb-Drug Interactions and Their Impact on Pharmacokinetics: An Update

Abstract: Herb medicine has a long history of application and is still used worldwide. With the development of complementary and alternative medicine, the interaction between herb and drugs has attracted more and more attention. Herb-drug interactions (HDI) could cause decreased efficiency, increased toxicity, and affect the drug absorption and disposition processes due to the interference of their pharmacological or pharmacokinetic effects. Hence, the mechanisms and results of herb-pharmacokinetic interactions should b… Show more

“…Conversely, negative interactions may lead to unwanted clinical consequences, especially for drugs with low therapeutic indices ( Zhou et al, 2021 ). HDIs may decrease efficiency, increase toxicity, and interfere with drug absorption and disposal processes due to interference from their pharmacological or pharmacokinetic effects ( Cheng et al, 2023 ). Approximately 25% of herbal supplement users frequently take prescription drugs, which increases the likelihood of HDIs.…”

“…Although there are inconsistent reports as to the capacity of ginger to augment the actions of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, caution may be warranted for those consuming ginger and being treated with blood thinners 117–122 . As measured in preclinical models, ginger and its constituents were reported to affect the activities of several cytochrome P450s and drug transporters that determine the metabolic disposition of various drugs 123–127 . Specifically, ginger was reported to alter the pharmacokinetics of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and isoniazid; the immunosuppressive agents tacrolimus and cyclosporine; and the anticancer medication crizotinib 128–131 .…”

“…[117][118][119][120][121][122] As measured in preclinical models, ginger and its constituents were reported to affect the activities of several cytochrome P450s and drug transporters that determine the metabolic disposition of various drugs. [123][124][125][126][127] Specifically, ginger was reported to alter the pharmacokinetics of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and isoniazid; the immunosuppressive agents tacrolimus and cyclosporine; and the anticancer medication crizotinib. [128][129][130][131] Thus, caution is indicated for those taking such medications, and it is wise to consult a physician or clinical pharmacist prior to self-dosing.…”
