24 CA upholds DOH rule on 'no approved therapeutic claim' tag on supplements By: Brian Maglungsod, Interaksyon.com December 21, :21 PM all food & dietary supplement products sold in the market should strictly carry on their labels the phrase Mahalagang paalala: Ang (name of product) ay hindi gamot at hindi dapat gamiting panggamot sa anumang uri ng sakit Department of Health: a legal victory for truth in advertising.

29 Sehat Badan is being sold illegally particularly in Mindanao for P180 per box. Sehat Badan's Facebook page: claims it can "treat various diseases" such as asthma, allergy, and hypertension This claim is not approved by the Philippine FDA. In 2014, the FDA ordered its food and drug regulation officers to confiscate the unregistered food supplement which contains sugar (sucrose and fructose), Diclofenac sodium, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
30 FDAs have fought for decades to regulate supplements, but have been defeated politically, and economically, by the supplement industry
31 History of Herbal Remedies The Egyptians first codified herbal remedies. Shennong, a mythical person, tested hundreds of herbs, passed knowledge about plants and poisons over 2,000 years ago to others. Herbal guide De Materia Medica was written by a 1 st century Greek physician, Dioscorides. In the Americas, herbalism, deeply tied to spiritualism among Native American tribes.

38 Drug Food Supplement Interactions St. John s Wort: Amitryptiline, Anticonvulsants, Antihistamines, Benzodiazepines, CCBs, Chemotherapeutics, OCPs, Digoxin, Simvastatin, SSRIs, Warfarin Milk Thistle: Metronidazole Black Cohosh: Iron, Hormones, Warfarin, Salicylates Echinacea: Immuno-suppressants Saw Palmetto: Hormones (e.g., OCPs) Gingko biloba: Acetaminophen, Anticonvulsants, Antidepressants, Aspirin, Thiazides Garlic: Aspirin, HIV medications, Warfarin
39 Safety Considerations 40 to 70% of patients do not inform physicians about use of alternative therapies Adverse reactions not known to patients One or more chemical component of the plant Incorrect manufacturing process FDA does not require reporting of adverse reactions from alternative therapies
40 Safety Considerations No Standardization Nomenclature and chemical constituents vary Mixtures are NOT standardized Lack of Good Manufacturing Practices Examples: ginseng, ephedra Difficult to identify ingredients Lack of active ingredient Contamination
41 Herbal Remedies NCAHF* warning Herbal remedies not only waste funds, but on occasion poison and kill, and they do even greater harm to the fools who take them because they often at the same time are not treating a serious medical condition scientifically Books could be filled with the controlled studies that have failed to find significant value to herbal remedies. *National Council Against Health Fraud, Inc.

46 If herbals have not been proven to be effective for preventing, diagnosing or treating any disease and may be harmful, Why do people keep taking them?
47 Major trends in the Philippines: concern about drug safety issues concern about quality & cost of health care health consciousness and awareness of lifestyle related diseases demand for disease prevention products and services in self medication with herbal medicines demand for health and wellness products
48 Herbal versus Conventional Medication Disappointment with current conventional therapies Fear of safety and long-term effects of drugs Lack of effective treatments/cures Belief that herbal products are safe because derived from nature Peer influence Desire to have control of one s own health False claims from manufacturers
49 Herbal versus Conventional Medication Demand stimulated by aggressive marketing campaigns, including television & radio commercials, usually involving Filipino celebrities (even doctors).
50 Many people will keep taking food supplements What can we do to make it less risky for them?
51 Clinicians 1. Resist the temptation to make money from gullible patients 2. Routinely ask patients about their use of herbal products/food supplements. Give them advice. 3. Report adverse effects to the FDA 4. Write up and submit for publication case reports in which patients have experienced adverse effects from herbal product use.
52 Give Advice to Consumers 1. Do not assume that herbal remedies are safe just because they are natural. 2. Do not take herbal remedies if you are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant or breastfeeding. Don t give to children. 3. Do not take large quantities of herbal products or for prolonged periods. 4. Buy only products that identify active ingredients and state contraindications for use.
53 Advice to Consumers cont d. 5. There are dangerous herbs and advice not to take them. 6. Do not use herbal remedies without checking with your doctor. 7. Do not trust your health to practitioners who use unregulated titles such as herbalist, herb doctor, herbologist, Master Herbalist, Natural Health Counselor, etc. 8. Beware of exaggerated claims about the benefits of herbal remedies.
54 Advice to Consumers cont d. 9. Herbal-pharmaceutical interactions do occur 10. Lack of standardization (variability in content and efficacy among brands) 11. Lack of quality control and regulation (contamination and misidentification) 12. Tell health service provider about herbal use
