Article Synopsis
- - Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder in low- and middle-income countries like Algeria, where cultural factors influence the use of medicinal plants for treatment, but there's a lack of data on how these plants interact with conventional medications.
- - The study aimed to investigate which plants diabetic patients are using, their potential interactions with anti-diabetic drugs, and the profile of users through descriptive studies and extensive literature research.
- - Findings indicate a decline in the use of medicinal plants among patients, with oral anti-diabetic drug users being more likely to use plants simultaneously, particularly Olea europea and Trigonella feanum greacum, which may have synergistic effects but with minimal adverse reactions.
