Role of Pharmacovigilance of Herbal and Traditional Herbal Medicines
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Herbal and traditional medicines are gaining global popularity as consumers seek natural health solutions. While widely accessible and culturally significant, these products often lack standardized safety assessments. Unlike conventional medicines, herbal remedies are complex mixtures with uncertain chemical composition, making it challenging to identify specific substances responsible for adverse effects. This complexity underscores the urgent need for rigorous safety monitoring and appropriate regulatory frameworks to ensure the safety and efficacy of herbal and traditional medicines.
