Effect of Moringa Oleifera (Moringa, Drumstick/Horseradish Tree) on The Pharmacokinetics of Efavirenz and Nevirapine In-vivo.
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Moringa oleifera, Efavirenz 600mg, and 1 other intervention for HIV. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A study will be conducted by scientists from the University of Zimbabwe to determine if antiretroviral drugs are affected by taking herbs at the same time. This is important because herbal medicines may interact with modern medicine to increase or decrease the amount of medication in the body. The drugs nevirapine and efavirenz will be studied. Both drugs are routinely used as part of combination therapy for treating HIV. In this study it will be determined whether the concentrations of the antiretroviral drugs nevirapine and efavirenz are low, high or are in the desired range when taken together with the herb moringa.
