AB  - Herbal medicine practice has gained acceptance around the globe especially in
developing countries because of ease of accessibility, afford-ability, presumed
safety and the notion that it is without adverse effect. This is not necessarily
true as herbal medicine practices have its own challenges and limitations so
Physicians need to know which herb their patients take along with antidiabetic
medications as some combinations may be beneficial, harmful or have no
effect. In this study, it was summarized the report available on the interaction
of herbs and various classes of antidiabetic drugs whether pharmacodynamic
(beneficial, harmful or no effect), pharmacokinetic (whether the herb affect
absorption, distribution, metabolism or elimination of the drug) and a brief
