Pharmacognosy-2 (PG303) Level 2 Clinical Pharmacy-Pharm D

Introduction

It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome again to Pharmacognosy Department.
Welcome to the study of Pharmacognosy-2 (PG303)!

Based on the Egyptian flora and other flora of wild and cultivated medicinal plants
that are used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries in the global &
Egyptian market, the course introduces students to some botanical drugs of fruits,
herbs, subterranean, unorganized drugs, and animal-derived drugs. During the
lectures and practical sessions, students learn to identify examples of these drugs in
their entire and powdered forms. Students will learn about the major constituents,
folk uses, clinically proven uses, benefits, precautions of those medicinal plants.
possible herbal-drug interactions of selected examples of these drugs.

I hope that you find these notes to be informative and engaging, and that they inspire
you to explore the fascinating world of pharmacognosy further. Let's dive in and
discover the wonders of natural products and their potential to improve human
health!
