_Meyler's Side Effects of Herbal Medicines_, named to Doody's Core
Titles for 2013, is a derivatrive work based on the acclaimed
_Meyler’s Side Effect of Drugs, Fifteenth Edition._ This book
summarizes the adverse effects of a large range of herbal medicines
and the active ingredients that they contain. It includes extensive
lists of the families of plants that are used as herbal medicines,
including the Latin names of genera and species as well as the common
names of individual plants. It features not only herbal medicines but
information on important compounds such as tropane alkaloids, cardiac
glycosides, nicotine, and pyrolizidine alkaloids.
The book is divided into three separate sections:
* Family – Each monograph is organized under a family of plants
(for example, Liliaceae)
* Genera – The various genera that are included under the family
name are tabulated (for example, the family Liliaceae contains 94
genera)
* Species – In each monograph, some species are dealt with
separately (for example, in Liliaceae, four species are included under
their Latin names and major common names)
Each monograph includes the following information:
* Alternative common names
* Active ingredients
* Uses – both traditional and modern
* Adverse effects
* References
Drug names are designated by their recommended or proposed
International Non-proprietary Names (rINN or pINN); when those are not
available, clinical names or brand names are used.
The material is drawn from the fifteenth edition of the
internationally renowned encyclopedia, _Meyler’s Side Effects of
Drugs,_ and the latest volumes in the companion series, _Side Effects
of Drugs Annuals_.
This volume is critical for any health professional or homeopathic
practitioner with an interest in herbal medicines.
