PUTRAJAYA: Doctors need to report cases of adverse reactions to traditional medicines for the Health Ministry to establish the safety levels of the products, said Minister Datuk Chua Jui Meng. 

He said doctors had not responded positively to the Malaysian Adverse Drug Reaction Advisory Committee’s call for them to report such cases, which would enable the establishment of a database of product safety profiles, particularly when the products were used together with other medication.
