| Abstract | Uporaba zdravil rastlinskega izvora vztrajno narašča in vedno več podatkov kaže, da takšna zdravila uporabljajo vse skupine ljudi, vključno z otroki, nosečnicami, dojiljami, ženskami v menopavzi in ostarelimi. Pomembno dejstvo je, da zdravila rastlinskega izvora uporabljajo bolniki zelo različnih zdravstvenih stanj, ki hkrati uživajo zdravila sinteznega izvora na zdravniški recept. Ti bolniki svojemu zdravniku navadno ne povejo, da uporabljajo tudi zdravila rastlinskega izvora ali celo prehranska dopolnila. Iz leta v leto pridobivamo vedno nova znanja o možnih neželenih učinkih in medsebojnemu delovanju zdravil rastlinskega izvora in drugih zdravili, zato se moramo zdravstveni delavci zavedati te problematike in dobro razumeti njene učinke, da lahko bolnikom ustrezno svetujemo. Zdravila rastlinskega izvora so lahko v stanjih, ki ne ogrožajo življenja, alternativa sinteznim zdravilom, pod pogoji, da so kakovostna, varna, učinkovita in da jih pravilno uporabljamo.The use of herbal medicinal products increases constantly and there is growingevidence that herbal medicines are used widely by all groups of societyincluding children, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, women during the menopause, and the elderly. Of particular importance is the use of herbal medicines by patients with a wide range of conditions many of whom take prescription medicines and are reluctant to tell their doctors about herbal medicinal products or even food supplements they are taking. Data on potentialadverse effects and herb-drug interactions increase every year and healthcare professionals need to be aware of this problem and need to understand its effects to be able to offer the patient an adequate advice. Herbal medicinal products can offer an alternative to conventional medicines in non-life-threatening conditions, providing they are of adequate quality, safety and efficacy, and are used in an appropriate manner | |
