Background<\/strong>: Drug-herb interactions have become an important issue in clinical practice because of its growing\u00a0acceptance especially in African countries.<\/p>\n

Objective:<\/b> To determine the socio-demographic associations of concurrent use of antipsychotic drugs and\u00a0herbal medicines.<\/p>\n

Methods:<\/b> This descriptive cross-sectional study involved the intermittent recruitment of 217 participants on\u00a0antipsychotic drugs attending the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Kaduna. A structured questionnaire was\u00a0employed to collect socio-demographic characteristics and use of herbal medicines via face-face interview with\u00a0patients from November 2016 to January 2017.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/b> A total of 97 respondents (44.7 %) used herbal medicines and antipsychotic drugs concurrently.\u00a0Respondents between the ages of 16 and 25 years, those who are married or ever married, Hausas, Fulanis and\u00a0artisans were most likely to concurrently use herbal medicines with their antipsychotic drugs.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/b>High prevalence of use of herbal medicines among the patients was found and the major sociodemographic determinants for concurrent herbal-antipsychotic medicine use were found to be age, marital\u00a0status, tribe and occupation.<\/p>\n
