Abstract
As herbal medicines are used by increasing numbers of people, pharmacists must be knowledgeable about their safety. This requires appreciation of the magnitude of use, as well as regulations under which the products are marketed that may affect their safety. Unexpected effects of many popular herbal products are described in the literature. Thus the pharmacist's role in ensuring protection of the consumer continues to grow.Keywords
