Tips for using herbal products safely

Buy or use herbal products from a qualified doctor or reputable provider.

Request products that are clearly labeled in English with your name, lot number, date, quantity, dosage, instructions, safety information (if applicable), and your doctor's contact details.

Avoid using over-the-counter products from a health food store, pharmacy, or the Internet. Please note that products sold online from other countries are not covered by the same quality and safety standards as those sold in Australia. Some Ayurvedic and Chinese products may contain lead, mercury, and arsenic in amounts high enough to be considered toxic.

Make sure you know how to prepare and take your herbs. Just like conventional medicine, taking the right dose at the right time is important for herbal remedies to work safely.





Talk to your doctor and complementary healthcare professional, or call the NPS MedicineWise medication line on 1300 633 424 from anywhere in Australia, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm AEST. This service is staffed by registered nurses who provide confidential and independent information on prescription, over-the-counter and complementary medications.

Ask the practitioner for ways to mask the taste of the herbs if you find them bitter.

Report any suspected adverse reaction to any type of medication to your doctor, or call the NPS MedicineWise Adverse Medicine Event Line on 1300 134 237 from anywhere in Australia, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm AEST . If the reaction is serious, call 000 or go to your nearest emergency service.
