Efficacy, Toxicity, Interactions with Western Drugs, and Effects on Clinical Laboratory Tests Herausgeber: Dasgupta, Amitava; Hammett-Stabler, Catherine A
This book focuses on efficacy, toxicity, drug interactions, and abnormal clinical laboratory tests resulting from the use of herbal remedies. 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.

Dr. Dasgupta immigrated from India to the U.S. in 1980. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University and his Fellowship training in Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology from the University of Washington at Seattle. Currently he is a Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. He is the author of over 20 books, has published 182 scientific articles, and is a member of the editorial board of five international periodicals, including the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Journal.

Rezensionen
"Even though Americans rely increasingly on alternative medicine, herbal and traditional remedies do not undergo the testing for safety and efficacy as pharmaceutical drugs. In this book, editors Dasgupta (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of Texas Medical School at Houston) and Hammett-Stabler (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) present a balanced and comprehensive introduction to herbal supplements, emphasizing the pharmacological interactions between herbal supplements and Western pharmaceuticals". -- Booknews, 1 June 2011
