Thinking and Methods for Demonstrating the Effectiveness of Chinese Herbal Compounds from the Perspective of Pharmacokinetics / 中国中西医结合杂志

ABSTRACT

To exert pharmacological effects, no matter therapeutic effect or toxic/side effect, it's necessary to achieve enough plasma concentration. Chinese medical compounds, which contain various ingredients, influence the metabolism of some active ingredients through the interaction of ingredients to improve curative effects or reduce toxic/side effects. Pharmacokinetics can be used to explore how Chinese medical compounds influence the in vivo metabolism of some active ingredients to achieve better curative effects.
