Are there any problems about using other medicines along with phytotherapics?

The phytoterapics are allopathic medicines, having chemical composes that may interact with other medicines. The medicinal plants also have active chemical composes that can promote this kind of interaction.

One should take care when gathering medicines with or without medicinal plants, what can diminish the effects or cause unwanted reactions.An exemple of this is the use of Hypericum Perforatum together with contraceptive medicine, which will allow a woman to get pregnant or the use of Ginkgo Biloba with anticoagulants, as warfarin or acetylsalicylic acid, which may cause hemorrhages. A doctor must be always consulted before the use of any medicine and/or combination of them.
