Abstract

The market for natural products has experienced rapid expansion in recent years. It leads to the creation of numerous proprietary herbal products, the majority of which are composed of multiple ingredients. The development of herbal drug therapies has led to the discovery that many of the drug's components may interact with one another, which has led to severe concerns regarding the stability of such formulations, a crucial topic in the study of phytochemistry and natural medicines. National pharmacovigilance centers (or analogous institutions) will need to have specialized technical knowledge in order to manage herbal medications, in particular, to analyze the reasons of adverse occurrences. This will include qualified professionals in pertinent technical fields and resources to analyze the products in question, for which there is frequently little data and limited access to trustworthy information sources. Additionally, an effort has been made to gather a profile of herbal substances that improve drug bioavailability together with their mechanism of action (where known) and research on this enhancement.

Keywords: Natural Product; Herbal Drug; Phytochemistry; and National Pharmacovigilance Centers
