Understanding the pharmacokinetics of herbal drugs is essential for optimizing their therapeutic efficacy and safety. This book explores the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of herbal drugs, detailing how these processes influence their pharmacological effects. It covers the pharmacokinetic profiles of key herbal constituents, the impact of herbal formulations on drug kinetics, and the factors affecting the bioavailability of herbal compounds. Additionally, the book discusses methodologies for studying the pharmacokinetics of herbal drugs, including in vitro and in vivo approaches, and the integration of pharmacokinetic data into clinical practice. Aimed at pharmacologists, pharmacognosists, and healthcare professionals, it provides essential insights into the dynamic interplay between herbal drugs and the body’s pharmacokinetic processes.
James White investigates the pharmacokinetics of herbal drugs used in dermatology, focusing on their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. His research ensures that herbal dermatological treatments are both effective and safe by understanding their pharmacokinetic profiles. James has published extensively on optimizing dosing and administration of herbal medications for skin conditions. He also offers guidelines for clinicians to incorporate pharmacokinetic principles in prescribing herbal drugs, ensuring effective and personalized dermatological care through informed use of herbal therapies.
