"This research showed that many consumers:
- Are not aware of the side effects of some complementary medicines and their potential interaction with conventional medicines - this may put some users at unnecessary risk of harm.
- Are using some complementary medicines for general wellbeing or to prevent illness despite a lack of evidence for this.
- Do not always discuss the use of complementary medicines with their doctors.
- Are reliant on sources of information about complementary medicines that are of variable quality, reliability and authority."
To all the Australian consumers out there.... is this true for you?
