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.
