Abstract
Herbal products are popular worldwide. Their popularity is by untrustworthy manufacturers who add conventional drugs. The addition of conventional drugs increases the risk of developing antimicrobial resistance and herb-drug interactions. To safeguard the users and enhance the safety of herbal products, analytical methods for screening and determining conventional drugs adulterated in herbal products are required. Therefore, this study was carried out to develop analytical methods and apply them in screening and determination of antibiotic, antimalarial, pain killer and erectile dysfunction adulterants in herbal products
