Use of unregulated, unregistered herbal medicines dangerous – NAFDAC warns
The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned that unregulated and unregistered herbal medicines can cause serious health damages.
The South-East Director of NAFDAC, Mrs Olajumoke Ojetokun, gave the warning in an interview with newsmen in Enugu on Tuesday.
Ojetokun noted that though herbal medicines were not bad, but advised that such drugs ought to be regulated and duly registered to ascertain the potency or otherwise of its contents.
She added that through regulation, the agency could also certify if ingredients were safe for human consumption especially for a period of time.
