Measurements and monitorings dependent color intensity of drugs and food supplements interactions with textile dyes between TLC plates by using rope printing technique

Abstract

Pharmacovigilance between drug and food supplements is common in the world and it is important to take precautions before clinical cases. In this study, interactions between food supplements containing herbal food mixes, sweeteners, vitamin blends and commonly used painkillers, antibiotics and anticoagulants, were revealed with helping of macrame ropes, smartphone, TLC plates and textile dyes and color analysis method supported image j program. The sensitivity of the developed method was high (LOD: 0.7ppm, LOQ: 2ppm). Color analysis results can provide a color risk scale that can be combined with online drug interaction softwares such as Micromedex.
