With 150,000 copies of its first edition in print, PDR for Herbal Medicines has almost instantly become one of the nation's leading pharmacological references. The reasons for its phenomenal reception are evident. Hundreds of herbal remedies now fill the shelves in virtually every supermarket and pharmacy, and the popularity of self-medication with "natural" supplements continues to rise, making the benefits—and risks—of these preparations an ever more compelling concern. Now, to better address the host of questions that still surround most herbal remedies. Physicians' Desk Reference® is proud to present this completely revised and updated second edition of PDR for Herbal Medicines. Significantly enhanced and expanded, this new edition extends both the range and depth of the original volume. Among the many improvements you'll find: • Broader Coverage: With some 100 new entries, the book now covers a total of 700 botanicals, including a wide selection of popular Chinese herbs. • More Research Data: Hundreds of entries have been augmented with additional information on safety and efficacy. • Additional Adverse Effects: The entries include new information on drug/herb interactions. The Side Effects and Interactions indices have been enriched and expanded • Available Formulations: Whenever applicable, the herbal monographs now list the names and suppliers of popular commercial preparations. • New Indices: The index section has been enhanced with four additional indices: — Homeopathic Indications Index — Asian Indications Index — Safety Guide — Manufacturers Index • Better Organization: In this edition, remedies appear under their more familiar common name, instead of their botanical designation. All monographs are cross-referenced by scientific name. One important aspect of the first edition does, however, remain constant. Because it is still extremely hard to come by reliable information on the swarm of unregulated "dietary supplements" in today's marketplace, this new edition continues to provide you with the closest available analog to FDA-approved labeling— the findings of the German Regulatory Authority's herbal watchdog agency, commonly called "Commission E." This agency has conducted an intensive assessment of the peer-reviewed literature on some 300 common botanicals, weighing the quality of the clinical evidence and identifying the uses for which the herb can reasonably be considered effective. Its conclusions represent the best expert consensus on medicinal herbs currently available. For the herbs not considered by Commission E, PDR for Herbal Medicines provides the results of an exhaustive literature review conducted by the respected PhytoPharm U.S. Institute of Phytopharmaceuticals under the direction of noted botanist, Dr. Joerg Gruenwald. These additional monographs, now some 400 in number, provide a detailed introduction to an array of exotic botanicals that you'll be hard pressed to find in any other source. To make the information in the monographs as useful and accessible as possible, PDR® has echoed the structure of standard U.S. product labeling. Each monograph contains up to ten standard sections, covering considerations ranging from description to dosage. Here's a closer look at what you will find: • Title: Each monograph begins with the herb's generally accepted common name, followed by its scientific name. In addition, all monographs are crossreferenced by their botanical designation. • Trade Names: Listed here are common commercial preparations of the herb. • Description: This section provides a detailed botanical overview of the herb, including information on its medicinal parts; flower and fruit; leaves, stem, and root; unique characteristics, habitat, production, related plants, and additional common names and synonyms. • Actions and Pharmacology: Here you'll find data on the active compounds or heterogeneous mixtures found in the plant, followed by a summary of the herb's clinical effects. If various parts of the plant possess different pharmacological activity, the parts are discussed individually, here and throughout the remainder of the monograph. ...
