In general, herbal products are not subject
to review or approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
They are not required to be standardized, meaning that the amounts
of active ingredients or contaminants they contain may vary between
brands or between different batches of the same brand. Not all of
the risks, side effects, or interactions associated with the use
of herbal products are known because few reliable studies of their
use in humans have been done.
This information is provided for your

provider and be sure that you talk to your doctor and pharmacist
about all the prescription and non-prescription medicines you take
before you begin to use any herbal product. |
