Concurrent use of herbal and prescribed medicine by patients in primary health care clinics, South Africa
CONCLUSION: Because of the lack of discussions and non-disclosure about HM in PHC clinics, patients are at risk of experiencing HDIs. Primary health care providers should regularly enquire about HM use on every patient, to identify and prevent HDIs.
