PSA national president Grant
Kardachi called for a centralised,
independent database for
complementary medicine evidence
at the Blackmores Institute
Symposium on Friday.
Kardachi said evidence was the
key for pharmacists and under the
PSA’s code of ethics, the emphasis
on evidence based products was
a priority; the complementary
medicines industry and pharmacy
should work together to develop a
comprehensive information service
that was an all-encompassing
resource accessed by health
professionals and consumers.
“Such a resource would enable
the pharmacist to instantly
check on any evidence behind
the complementary medicine,
any interactions and any other
information which may affect the
consumer’s health outcomes.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 28 Jul 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 28 Jul 14
