Although a few herbal remedies are safe and have efficacy (for example saw palmetto), many herbal remedies are toxic. This book guides in the interpretation of abnormal test results in otherwise healthy subjects due to use of herbal remedies. Chapters focus on interactions between herbals and pharmaceuticals, sources of contamination in herbal supplements, and analytical techniques used in the investigation of herbal remedies. 606 $aHerbs$xToxicology 606 $aHerbs$xTherapeutic use 606 $aDrug-herb interactions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHerbs$xToxicology. 615 0$aHerbs$xTherapeutic use. 615 0$aDrug-herb interactions. 676 $a615/.321 701 $aDasgupta$b Amitava$f1958-$0867120 701 $aHammett-Stabler$b Catherine A.$f1952-$0867121 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139394603321 996 $aHerbal supplements$91935416 997 $aUNINA
