Profil Konsumen Obat Tradisional terhadap Ketanggapan Akan Adanya Efek Samping Obat Tradisional

---

The use of traditional and herbal medicine as well as health food supplements are increasing since “back to nature” became a life style in many countries including in Indonesia. Traditional medicine is often claimed as safe and does not have any adverse effects although it is documented that many medicinal plants have the intrinsic potential of being toxic, possible interaction with each other or with any conventional drugs. However, it seems that many herbal users (consumers) believe that traditional medicines and herbal are safe, do not have any negative impact to the health, and many have used them inappropriately. This qualitative study is performed to explore the profiles of 120 herbal users and their concerns and responses to the possible adverse effects of herbal medicines. It is revealed that almost a half or 45,8% of the respondents (herbal consumers) stated that traditional/herbal medicine is effective for all diseases, safe (57.5% of respondents), and safer than conventional drugs (65.8% of respondents). On the other hand, about 25% of respondents affirmed to experiencing adverse use and the necessary of a reporting system for the adverse of traditional and herbal medicines.
