Objective: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) safety has drawn more concerns from domestic and abroad because of its adverse reactions that were occasionally reported.In this article
recent achievements and research progress in TCM safety evaluation were reviewed
which included more research grants on TCM toxicology
GLP practice
TCM injections safety evaluation
systematic study of ‘toxic TCMs’
and so on.Finally
TCM safety problems that currently exist
such as classification of ‘toxic TCMs’
methodology on the control of TCM toxicity
early discovery of its toxicity
research and development of a new drug from ‘toxic TCMs’
and so on
were discussed
and then
a study strategy of TCM toxicology was proposed to be aimed at overcoming the problems.
