Treatment cost is a major concern for modern medicine in developing countries like India and systematic innovative means to reduce these costs are needed. This article reviews the concept of bioenhancers to reduce treatment costs by increasing drug bioavailability. This concept, based on the Ayurvedic system of medicine, works for a wide range of ingested substances, and has been applied to modern drugs, particularly single chemicals. It offers a fine example of the benefit of integrating an ancient system with modern medicine in both theory and practice.
治疗成本是印度等发展中国家现代医学面临的一个主要问题，因此需要系统的创新方法来降低这些成本。本文回顾了生物增强剂的概念，即通过提高药物生物利用度来降低治疗成本。这一基于阿育吠陀医学体系的概念适用于多种摄入物质，并已应用于现代药物，尤其是单一化学成分的药物。它在理论和实践上都为将古老医学体系与现代医学相结合的益处提供了一个很好的范例。
