Key factors need to be considered before such combinations are :

- Herb-Herb interactions (positive or negative)

- Synergism/ Antagonism

- Relative compatibility and biocompatibility of herbs

- Ratio or proportion of ingredients

- Pharmacodynamic & Pharmacokinetic principles of individual herbs

- Nature and form of drugs, etc.
