Pygeum
Pygeum is a herbal remedy containing extracts from the bark of Prunus africana. It is used to alleviate some of the discomfort caused by inflammation in patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia. Bark extract is marketed under the brand-names of Pigenil in Italy and Tadenan in France and used commonly in its natural forms in traditional African medicine. The Natural Standard Research Collaboration states: Pygeum alters the activity of cytochrome p450, more specifically extremely strong inhibition of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, suggesting that it may interfere with the effectiveness of other drugs or supplements.
