摘要
Since many years the concept of classical phytotherapy using herbal drug combinations with superior efficacy and lesser side effects in comparison with single isolated constituents of plant extracts has been repeatedly assessed clinically as well as pharmacologically. For this as multitarget therapy defined treatment lot of examples are presented. The exact mechanisms of action underlying these synergy effects is unknown. It could be explained by a multitarget action of compounds on a molecular level or partly by an improved resorption rate and a change of pharmacokinetic. Progress in the field of drug synergy research may lend with standardized plant extracts a new legitimacy and may open the chance to use extract combinations for the treatment of diseases which previously have been reserved for chemo therapeutics only.
