Vipaka plays significant role in pharmacotherapy used in [[Ayurveda]]. It is explained that substances work according to the potential of their vipaka. Though, ginger ([[shunthi]]) is pungent in taste, it does not vitiate [[pitta dosha]] due to its madhura vipaka. It is therefore a generalized theory that when all pharmacodynamic attributes of the [[dravya]] have comparable/similar potential, the vipaka always dominates the [[rasa]].

Vipaka is very important among all other pharmacodynamic properties of [[dravya]] because the  results of taking diet or medicine depend on correct or incorrect digestion. [[Agni]] plays crucial role in digestion and vipaka. The desired/undesirable actions of the [[dravya]]s directly/indirectly depend on the vipaka of the [[dravya]]s. Vipaka of any [[dravya]] depend on the inherent properties of the [[dravya]]s as well as condition of [[agni]] of the consumer. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 26/63] Plumbago zeylanica([[chitraka]]), if digested properly, causes agnideepana (desired action of stimulation of digestion). While if not digested properly, it causes constipation (undesirable action). Similarly, properly digested Piper longum ([[pippali]]) enhances [[shukra]] (desired effect), while improper digestion leads to excessive formation of [[kleda]] (untoward effect of moisture).

Vipaka is also important because the aggravation and improvement of the [[dosha]]s as well as the accumulation of [[dhatu]] in the body directly depends on the vipaka. A well digested diet or medicine is beneficial, while the same if poorly digested causes various diseases. Therefore, it can be inferred that vipaka is one of the most important factors among all the attributes of [[dravya]].
