DAVAO CITY — Medical experts in Davao City have warned the public against consuming herbal products which may contain high levels of toxic substances that can cause irreversible damage to kidneys.
“There is not enough evidence to support the benefit of the herbal drink or mix or capsule, and there is not enough evidence to support that it is non-toxic. So we don’t know the toxicity profile,” she said. She said taking unsafe herbal products may become a contributing factor to developing a kidney problem.
She explained clinical trials involve three phases: phase 1 is conducted to determine if the drug is generally safe for humans; phase 2 to determine if the drug works; and phase 3 to know the side effects.
