45. Genuine drug, Adulterants, Substitutes :-
 Credibility of drug depends upon the potency of drug which is
determined by the fact that whether it is genuine or not,
because ayurvedic system of medicine predominantly use plant
based raw materials in most of their preparations and
formulations. The credibility of this system thus mainly depends
upon the use of genuine raw materials. As a result of continuing
exploitation of these plants, many of the divine drugs have come
under endangered category.
Reasons for use of Substituents /Adulterants :-
 Certain species have faced eradication/shortage due to over
exploitation and ignorance of herb-collectors.
 Problems of transportation.
 Geographical distribution.
 Lack of knowledge regarding identification of drugs.
