Abstract
The combined use of drugs has become mandatory
in the current scenario both in human and animals.
In veterinary medicine, most commonly prescribed
category of drugs are different classes of antibiotics,
anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic agents. There
is a wide difference in bioavailability of these agents
when given under different pathological conditions
by different routes to different species. In order to
achieve the required therapeutic concentration, high
concentration of drugs is used which ends up in high
cost, drug associated toxicity and development of
resistance among the pathogens. A search for an
alternative opened up research on isolation of active
principles from plants which could act as bioenhancers.
Hence the application of these compounds
in veterinary medicine would necessarily be a solution
to the current problems as well as augment the
health and production in animals and thereby contribute
to the development of health and wealth of
the nation.
