Dear editor:
At present the use of herbal medicine is gaining important spaces within society, especially in countries with higher income indices. In others, with high levels of poverty, it may be the only therapeutic alternative. Tradition and popular wisdom promote its use, which has low cost and easy access.
The simultaneous consumption of conventional drugs and products derived from medicinal plants can generate combinations that decrease the effectiveness of treatment or increase the risk of interactions. However, this is not always the case, sometimes they can be beneficial and contribute to the well-being of the patient, in this sense this analysis is directed.
