Herbs have been used as sustenance and medicine for a very long time, often in conjunction with other prescribed medications. Even though they are thought to be natural and secure, many of these herbs can interact with other medications and cause potentially dangerous adverse effects or decrease the benefits of the medication. The complex and diverse pharmacological functions carried out by the active ingredients in herbs unavoidably alter the pharmacokinetics of chemical drugs when administered in vivo. Drug transporter expression has a direct impact on how medications are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in living organisms. Changes in substrate pharmacokinetics can affect the effectiveness and toxicity of a drug when the active ingredients of a herb inhibit or stimulate the expression of transporters. By reviewing published clinical and preclinical studies, this review aims to raise awareness of herbdrug interactions and discuss their evidence-based mechanisms and clinical consequences. More clinical information on herb-drug interactions is required to make choices regarding patient safety as the incidence and severity of herb-drug interactions are rising due to an increase in the use of herbal preparations globally.This review seeks to increase understanding of herb-drug interactions and explore their evidence-based mechanisms and clinical implications by reviewing published clinical and preclinical studies. The incidence and severity of herb-drug interactions are on the rise due to an increase in the use of herbal preparations worldwide, necessitating the need for more clinical data on these interactions in order to make decisions regarding patient safety. Healthcare workers and patients will become more alert to potential interactions as their knowledge of pharmacokinetic herb-drug interactions grows. The study's objective is to raise readers' awareness of possible interactions between herbal supplements and prescription medications who regularly take them.

A frequent inflammatory pilosebaceous disorder that affects 80-90% of teenagers, acne vulgaris is still a concern for dermatologists and other doctors in the field of medicine. Acne has a significant psychosocial impact and is responsible for a bigger worldwide burden of disease than psoriasis, cellulitis, and melanoma, as measured by age-standardized disability-adjusted life years. Patients may experience psychological problems as well as severe skin scars as a result of the condition. The pathogenesis process of acne lesion is complex, so it is myriad of available treatment. Acne is caused by a combination of four different pathological causes, including an increase in sebum production, irregular follicular desquamation, P.acnes proliferation, and inflammation of the afflicted skin. Synthetic, hormonal, and herbal treatments, as well as their efficacy in treating acne vulgaris, are discussed in this article. The laser and light treatment for acne vulgaris available within a specific wavelength range that stimulates type I and III collagen and elastic fibres is described in relation to radiation therapies. The innovative drug delivery techniques are covered here, such as particle, vesicular, and colloidal delivery systems as a prospective therapy. We will present a practical method for acne management in this article and discuss how to assess acne, how to use topical therapies, and how systemic therapy can be used to treat acne. This review will inform readers on the most recent advances in our understanding of acne treatment-related technological potential, with a particular emphasis on developing treatment alternatives and creative ways that can assist improve patient results. Acne has been the subject of substantial research, both in terms of disease mechanism and therapeutic approaches. However, as Propionibacterium acnes develop resistance to current medications there is a requirement for novel therapeutic modalities. Additionally, the absence of required data regarding the efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies needs a greater investigation into these treatment choices.

Epidemically increased evidence reveals that the link between the 2019-nCoV and other similar strain of coronaviruses circulating in bats and specifically the Rhinopodous bat sub-species. These sub-species are ample and widely present in Southern China, Middle East Africa and Europe. Recent studies show that more than 500 CoV have been identified in bats in China. The Center for Diseases Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization maintains a website that is updated frequently with new cases of MERS-CoV infection. As per WHO Situation report 16th, 24,554 number of cases confirmed globally out of which 99.22% cases from china. A new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is causing respiratory syndrome mostly in Hubei Province, China. Corona Virus spread over 24 countries including Japan, India, Korea, and other countries 2019-CoV infection vary from mild, moderate or severe illness; the later includes severe pneumonia, ARDS, sepsis and septic shock. There are two diagnostic tests for coronavirus infection i.e. molecular test and serology test. In this review article there are the various recent cases of the patients that are suffering from the corona virus, the outcome of these studies is that corona virus infection is an epidemic disease which affects Central Nervous System (CNS).
