Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 384 participants. Result showed that the majority of the participants reported using T&amp;CM as an additive to their conventional medicines. Even though, most participants understood of the possible interactions that might occur, when combining T&amp;CM with conventional medicines they remain dedicated to their practice. More study on T&amp;CM should be conducted to ensure the accurate and trusted scientific evidence provided especially in term of safety and efficacy.</p> ER -
