Abstract
© 2017 Ancient Science of Life | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow Sir, Pharmacovigilance (PV) is a serious concern in India due to frequently observed cases of adverse drug reactions (ADRs),[1] Ayurveda is also facing a dearth of systematic documentation apropos ADRs and safety of its medicines. The possible reasons could be poor awareness of PV and misconception that Ayurveda medicines are devoid of adverse reactions.[2] However it is noteworthy that classical Ayurveda prescribes purely herbal, herbo‐mineral (e.g. Tribhuvanakīrti rasa) and bhasma preparations (callcined metal/minerals), the ADRs may occur if precautions are not taken while manufacturing or administering these medicines.[3,4] Furthermore, doubts regarding long‐term safety of Ayurvedic medicines come up as they may contain metals, minerals or poisonous drugs of Schedule E‐1,[5] and there are reports related to ADRs.[6,7]
