Botanical and plant derived drugs contain active ingredients derived from plants. The botanical drug is a mixture of plant materials that include whole plant, part of plants, fungi or algae. Plants have been used as a source of medicine since past, owing to side effects caused due to consumption of synthetic drugs the botanical and plant derived drugs are preferred over the synthetic drugs.
Furthermore, the botanical drugs are clinically evaluated for safety and efficacy just as conventional drugs. Besides, this legalization of medical cannabis is also expected to foster growth of the botanical and plant derived drugs market.
