The “Herbal Products and Your Anesthetic” brochure answers two questions pertaining to herbal products — “What are herbal products?” and “What are the concerns?” — and then provides several steps for patients to take concerning their use of herbal products before having an anesthetic.
The brochure also identifies possible side effects or interactions with anesthetics by popular herbal products and provides some best practices on using herbal products safely.
