Authors highlight monitoring challenges of adverse reactions to Ayurvedic drugs, clarifying concerns about safety.
Sir, Steven–Johnson syndrome is an unpredictable reaction which can occur with any drug and it does not mean that the drug is not safe. As per the history given by the parents, the child was being treated by an Ayurvedic doctor, which made us think that an Ayurvedic preparation was being used. Our article was an attempt to highlight the problems associated with the monitoring of adverse drug reactions. Although Ayurvedic drugs are known to cause adverse drug reactions,[1–3] nowhere we have claimed in our article that these drugs are unsafe. Also, we have not tried to tarnish the image of any system of medicine.
