Addressing the Rise in Idiosyncratic Herb-Induced Liver Injury (HILI)

Prevalence of Traditional Medicine
Traditional medicine remains a primary source of healthcare for millions worldwide, deeply rooted in cultural practices and beliefs.
Complex Nature of Traditional Remedies
Traditional medicines often consist of multifaceted formulations with intricate pharmacodynamics, presenting unique challenges in safety assessment and regulation.
Limited Clinical Data
Unlike modern pharmaceuticals, traditional medicines lack incentives for manufacturers to conduct preclinical tests, clinical trials, or post-marketing surveillance, resulting in a scarcity of robust safety data.

Our Approach

Bridging Cultural and Medical Gaps
We understand the cultural inertia associated with traditional medicine use and the lack of access to modern medications in many communities. Our mission is to improve safety without dismissing cultural values.
Enhancing Observational Studies
In the absence of clinical trials, we're developing innovative methods to strengthen observational studies, making them more reliable for assessing the safety of traditional medicines.
Improving Voluntary Reporting Systems
We're working to enhance spontaneous voluntary reporting systems, making them more accessible and effective in capturing potential cases of herb-induced liver injury.
