Literature review of Siddha drugs on Pharmacovigilance
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Since centuries mankind has been using siddha system of medicine. Despite siddha medicines have clinical efficacy in innumerable diseases still striving for global acceptance because of lack in modern scientific ethos. People and siddha physicians repudiated to accept that siddha medicine may cause adverse effects which is unexposed. Now a days adverse drug reaction is explained in the term Pharmacovigilance. There is no absolute equivalent term for adverse effect and pharmacovigilance in siddha text.The technical term adverse drug reaction may be featured as ‘NanjuKurigunam’ in siddha text. Publications regarding adverse reactions in Siddha system of medicine is minimally low rather than clinical efficacy of siddha drugs. Hence this is a small venture to discuss about pharmacovigilance in siddha system of medicine.
