ASMI: CM Evidence

The Australian Self Medication Industry (ASMI) says there is a growing evidence base to support the use of complementary medicines.

ASMI was responding to an articlein the Australian, ‘Hard to Swallow this Bitter Pill’, which argued that pharmacists should not sell complementary medicines.

ASMI regulatory and scientific affairs director Steve Scarff said they played an important role in maintaining good health and preventing and treating illness.

"Millions of Australians have embraced complementary medicines as a way of treating short term ailments, preventing and managing chronic conditions and staying healthy."
