Résumé

Herbal or complementary medicines are frequently used for the treatment of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). Regulatory requirements for herbal therapies are inconsistent and, in many jurisdictions, herbal therapies are either self-, minimally- or unregulated. To provide guidance for the appropriate and safe use of herbal medicines in patients with FGID patients with special consideration of the regulatory frameworks. A PubMed search of the literature was performed; relevant articles were included. Similar to chemically defined therapies herbal medicines can cause adverse events. Thus, a risk-benefit appraisal should be undertaken for these therapies. While there is no disease specific mortality in FGID patients, patients with FGID who fail to respond to "empiric" chemically defined therapies undergo diagnostic and therapeutic measures that can be associated with appreciable morbidity and mortality. Thus, effective herbal treatments that subsequently reduce health-care utilization, reduce risks related to diagnostic or therapeutic measures that are initiated if no improvement of symptoms occurs. This "protective" effect of effective treatments for FGID needs to be taken in consideration when the risks and benefits of treatments are determined. In addition, standards that mirror regulations for chemically defined treatments should apply and the components of the respective preparations should undergo ongoing toxicological testing and rigorous quality assurance measures (including pharmacovigilance) applied. Some herbal therapies offer significant benefits for patients with FGID. To ensure the safety of these treatments, the regulatory requirements should mirror requirements for chemically defined treatments.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Herbal or complementary medicines are frequently used for the treatment of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). Regulatory requirements for herbal therapies are inconsistent and, in many jurisdictions, herbal therapies are either self-, minimally- or unregulated.
AIM OBJECTIVE
To provide guidance for the appropriate and safe use of herbal medicines in patients with FGID patients with special consideration of the regulatory frameworks.
METHODS METHODS
A PubMed search of the literature was performed; relevant articles were included.
RESULTS RESULTS
Similar to chemically defined therapies herbal medicines can cause adverse events. Thus, a risk-benefit appraisal should be undertaken for these therapies. While there is no disease specific mortality in FGID patients, patients with FGID who fail to respond to "empiric" chemically defined therapies undergo diagnostic and therapeutic measures that can be associated with appreciable morbidity and mortality. Thus, effective herbal treatments that subsequently reduce health-care utilization, reduce risks related to diagnostic or therapeutic measures that are initiated if no improvement of symptoms occurs. This "protective" effect of effective treatments for FGID needs to be taken in consideration when the risks and benefits of treatments are determined. In addition, standards that mirror regulations for chemically defined treatments should apply and the components of the respective preparations should undergo ongoing toxicological testing and rigorous quality assurance measures (including pharmacovigilance) applied.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Some herbal therapies offer significant benefits for patients with FGID. To ensure the safety of these treatments, the regulatory requirements should mirror requirements for chemically defined treatments.
