There is general belief that all herbal medicines are safe. However, there are a few reports of adverse drug reactions which have triggered safety concerns. There exists pharmacovigilance system but hardly implemented and moreover many practitioners and pharmacists’ are not aware of a pharmacovigillance system. There is a dire need to conduct training programmes to practitioners and pharmacists.
