Abstract: The findings from this study demonstrate that pharmacists were more likely to answer correctly about the uses of herbal medications than about drug interactions, adverse drug effects, and precautions of herbal medications. Additionally, pharmacists with previous continuing education on herbal medications were more knowledgeable about these products. With the increasing use of herbal medications, there is a greater need for pharmacy training programs in this area.
