Erbe, alimenti e farmaci: Tra sinergie e interazioni ()
By Fabio Firenzuoli
La comunità scientifica negli ultimi vent’anni ha posto con chiarezza, e all’attenzione di tutti, il problema dei rischi delle interazioni tra erbe e farmaci, non solo con report scientifici ma anche con interventi divulgativi, normativi e regolatori. Fortunatamente oggi c’è maggiore consapevolezza di questo fenomeno, quindi anche maggiore attenzione.Erbe, spezie, integratori e alimenti interagiscono spesso tra loro e con i farmaci già in terapia, ne modificano il metabolismo, così come l’efficacia o la sicurezza. L’ignoranza o il fai-da-te possono esserne complici, con effetti collaterali imprevisti, anche gravi e pericolosi. Molte invece sono le erbe sicure ed efficaci, la cui sapiente associazione e integrazione con i farmaci può risultare non solo priva di rischi, ma anche consigliabile, sinergica e vantaggiosa. Ridurre rischi di intolleranze, effetti collaterali e interazioni, evitando tutti i possibili conflitti e favorendone invece le opportunità: questo costituisce l’obiettivo finale del testo, il quale introduce la bilancia cromatica del rischio (BCR), un sistema chiaro e immediato per visualizzare la fascia di rischio clinico o il vantaggio per le singole erbe o sostanze, e per categorie di pazienti. Ogni scheda riporta le interazioni e le sinergie per le quali esistono evidenze cliniche, distinte dai soli rischi teorici, e le avvertenze da seguire. Leggi di più
Introducing “Erbe e Farmaci: Interazioni, Sinergie e Opportunità” by Fabio Firenzuoli, an essential guide for understanding the potential risks and benefits of herbal remedies, spices, supplements, and foods when taken alongside prescription medications. In the past two decades, the scientific community has brought attention to the problem of herb-drug interactions through research reports, regulatory interventions, and public awareness campaigns. Today, there is a greater awareness of this phenomenon and the need for caution.
This book aims to provide clarity on the complex interactions between herbs, spices, supplements, foods, and prescribed medications. It emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making and the risks associated with ignorance or self-medication. Many herbs and substances are safe and effective when combined with medications, leading to synergistic and advantageous outcomes. However, without proper knowledge, these interactions can lead to unexpected and potentially dangerous side effects. The goal of this book is to reduce the risks of intolerances, side effects, and interactions by promoting informed decision-making and highlighting the potential benefits of integrating herbs and medications.
The book introduces the concept of the “chromatic risk balance” (BCR), a clear and intuitive system for visualizing the clinical risk or advantage associated with individual herbs or substances, as well as specific categories of patients. Each entry provides information on documented interactions and synergies, along with relevant precautions to follow.
