"Evidence based herbal drugs are on hi-acceptance day by day due to health friendly nature compared to synthetic drugs. The active ingredients in herbal drugs are different chemical classes, e.g. alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, steroids, terpenes etc., are identified at molecular level using current analytical practices, which are unique characteristic, as finger, so known as fingerprints. The fingerprints are used for assessment of quality consistency and stability by visible observation and comparison of the standardized fingerprint pattern, have scientific potential to decipher the claims made on these drugs for authenticity and reliability of chemical constituents, with total traceability, which starts from the proper identification, season and area of collection, storage, their processing, stability during processing, and rationalizing the combinational in case of polyherbal drugs. These quality oriented documents have ample scientific logics so well accepted globally by regulatory authorities and industries, to determine intentional/ unintentional contamination, adulteration, pollutants, stability, quality, etc. parameters. Based on geo-climatic factors, a same plant species has different pharmacological properties due to different ingredients; such regional and morphological variations are identified by fingerprints, at the time of collection of the medicinal herb. The chromatographic (TLC, HPTLC, HPLC, GC,) and spectral (UV-Vis., FTIR, MNR, MS, LC-MS, GC-MS etc.) techniques have world-wide strong scientific approval as validated methods to generate the fingerprints of different chemical classes of active ingredients of herbal drugs. Presently there is a need for a book having all the fingerprinting techniques for herbal drugs at a place with theory, case studies and art to discover patentable forms. "

"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pharmaceuticalization pada obat pelangsing tubuh, khususnya menggali penggunaan, pemaknaan obat pelangsing tubuh dan pandangan konsumen perempuan mengenai tubuh ideal yang dilatarbelakangi oleh nilai dan norma mengenai tubuh sehat dan cantik. Berdasarkan hasil studi-studi sebelumnya, proses pharmateucalization terjadi akibat kerja sama antara industri farmasi, ekspektasi budaya dan peran media (Direct-ToConsumer-Advertising) mampu membangun informasi mengenai suatu penyakit serta pentingnya penggunaan obat-obatan. Kurangnya studi yang membahas pharmateucalization obat pelangsing herbal menjadi peluang peneliti untuk menggali lebih dalam mengenai fenomena ini dari sudut pandang para konsumen. Peneliti berargumen bahwa proses pharmaceuticalization obat pelangsing secara mikro terjadi akibat adanya pencampuran dari standarisasi kecantikan, wacana industri medis, farmasi, dan iklan mengenai kegemukan sebagai penyakit yang perlu disembuhkan dengan menormalisasi penggunaan obat gaya hidup (lifestyle drugs). Hasil temuan data memperlihatkan bahwa proses pharmaceuticalization melibatkan banyak aktor seperti perusahaan farmasi, strategi pemasaran obat (DTCA, celebrity endorsement, self-diagnosis), perubahan peran pasien dan konsumen, media massa, wacana kesehatan, wacana kecantikan, dan bantuan agen pendukung lainnya yang melihat berat badan sebagai permasalahan yang perlu diselesaikan dengan penggunaan obat pelangsing herbal yang menjadi lifestyle drugs untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup. Pada prosesnya, terdapat praktik penggunaan obat pelangsing yang dapat dibahas dari status konsumsi, durasi konsumsi, pola konsumsi, dan pengalaman konsumen terhadap obat pelangsing. Kemudian, obat pelangsing herbal dimaknai oleh perempuan sebagai obat yang memberikan ‘harapan palsu dan semu’ untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup penggunannya dengan menurunkan dan atau menjaga berat badan. Tubuh ideal dimaknai sebagai tubuh yang langsing sesuai dengan wacana kecantikan yang justifikasi merupakan tubuh yang sehat.

This study aims to explain the pharmaceuticalization of slimming drugs, in particular, to explore the use and meaning of slimming drugs and the views of female consumers regarding the ideal body based on values and norms regarding a healthy and beautiful body. Based on the results of previous studies, the pharmateucalization process occurs as a result of cooperation between the pharmaceutical industry, cultural expectations, and the role of the media (Direct-To-ConsumerAdvertising) to build information about a disease and the importance of using drugs. The lack of studies discussing the pharmaceuticalization of herbal slimming drugs is an opportunity for researchers to dig deeper into this phenomenon from consumers point of view. The researcher argues that the pharmaceuticalization process of slimming drugs on a micro basis occurs due to the mixing of beauty standardization, medical industry discourse, pharmaceuticals, and advertisements regarding obesity as a disease that needs cured by normalizing the use of lifestyle drugs. The data findings show that the pharmaceuticalization process involves many actors such as pharmaceutical companies, drug marketing strategies (DTCA, celebrity endorsement, selfdiagnosis), changing roles of patients and consumers, mass media, health discourse, beauty discourse, and the help of other supporting agents who see the weight is a problem that needs to be solved by using herbal slimming drugs which are lifestyle drugs to improve the quality of life. In the process, there is a practice of using slimming drugs that can be discussed from consumption status, duration of consumption, consumption patterns, and consumer experiences with slimming drugs. Then, herbal slimming drugs are interpreted by women as drugs that give 'false and false hopes' to improve the quality of life of their users by losing and or maintaining weight. The ideal body is defined as a slim body following the discourse of beauty which justifies a healthy body."

"This book focuses on efficacy, toxicity, drug interactions, and abnormal clinical laboratory tests resulting from the use of herbal remedies. Although a few herbal remedies are safe and have efficacy (for example saw palmetto), many herbal remedies are toxic. This book guides in the interpretation of abnormal test results in otherwise healthy subjects due to use of herbal remedies. Chapters focus on interactions between herbals and pharmaceuticals, sources of contamination in herbal supplements, and analytical techniques used in the investigation of herbal remedies.This book is divided into five parts. The first part provides a general introduction to CAMs as well as an introduction to herbals considered safe versus those with a darker reputation. The second part provides more detailed information in an organ or disease based focus and delves into some of the traditional practices of which most allopathic professionals have limited knowledge. Part III is dedicated to the key interactions between herbal supplements and various pharmaceutical drugs. Part IV addresses these important points. Part V discusses various analytical techniques used in the investigation of herbal remedies."
