Brief Summary
|
A herbal formulation has been developed by interdisciplinary
School of Indian System of Medicine (ISISM), SRM University in collaboration
with Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi for menopausal syndrome. Polyherbal
formulation contains Dioscorea bulbifera, Terminalia arjuna, Bambusa
arundinacea and Withania somnifera (Well established) plant extracts. The
formulation has been subjected to preclinical experiments to establish safety,
efficacy, acute toxicity, sub-acute toxicity and chronic toxicity studies. The
effective dose of each plant ingredient was determined based on the results of
pre-clinical studies by giving different doses of each plant extract in varying
concentrations. The maximum optimum effect in specific dose on various
targets/biomarkers involved with clinical condition was noticed and the
effective dose was taken for preparation of test formulation. The major safety
concern is the potential for interactions of herbal products with prescribed
drugs. This issue is especially important with respect to drugs with narrow
therapeutic indexes (e.g. warfarin and digoxin). This may lead to adverse
reactions that are sometimes life-threatening or lethal. The identification of
drugs that interact with herbs has important implications in drug development.
It appears that any new drugs that are substrates for CYP3A4 have a potential
to cause herb-drug interactions. Thus, caution should be taken when these drugs
are co-administered with herbs. Since in vitro drug-drug and drug-CYP
interaction studies have been incorporated into drug development, drug-herb and
herb-CYP interactions should also be included to identify drugs that interact
with herbs in the early stage of drug development. So our purpose of the study
is to evaluate the drug-herb interaction of newly developed polyherbal
formulation
