2. Ayurveda drug information and ADR monitoring

We regularly receive and answer innumerable queries related to Ayurvedic drugs. These queries come from our hospital as well as from others all over the state. We educate physicians and patients by providing them unbiased scientific information regarding Ayurvedic drugs.
A record of adverse drug reactions is kept and if necessary, further investigations are carried out. We also screen herbal and herbo-mineral preparations for steroids and heavy metals. If found positive for synthetic steroids, the information is given both to patients as well as physicians. Through this activity we have been able to prevent some adverse effects of the herbal formulations in patients. Similarly we have identified herbal medicines that contained unacceptable levels of heavy metals.
