To ascertain the use of health foods by patients and the associated problems, we asked 364 patients who brought prescriptions to our pharmacy to fill out a questionnaire. The questions asked aimed to determine the percentage of patients using health foods, the purpose of using them and the kinds of health foods used as well as the period, the frequency, amounts, and the effects of using them. Other questions concerned the person advising them on the use of health foods, the side effects of health foods, and the awareness of patients regarding the interactions between drugs and health foods. The knowledge obtained from the responses received should enable us to provide better pharmaceutical care to patients.
