Use of complementary and alternative medicine in patients with chronic viral hepatitis in Turkey.

CONCLUSION: CAM use, particularly herbal products, is prevalent among Turkish adults with CVH. In case of use of herbal products in chronic viral hepatitis patients, toxicity and liver failure may develop as a result of herbal product-drug interactions. Physicians in the field of hepatology should, therefore, be aware of potential toxicity of CAM, especially in patients with chronic hepatitis liver diseases. PMID: 31987221 [PubMed - in process]
