Several witnesses brought up the subject of labelling. It seems that quite often, consumers are not given enough information about the effects of taking a drug in combination with a natural health product. For example, taking garlic and ginkgo along with a drug like Coumadin can produce some side effects that can adversely affect people's health.
Do we need to be much more proactive and adopt regulations governing the labelling of natural health products?
Other witnesses besides the Health Canada officials can answer this question.
