All treatments and products should face the same scientific standards for effectiveness and safety

Patients need to consider several questions before choosing any treatment, including a dietary supplement. Professor Sawicki: "Doctors and patients need to know whether treatments have been proven to work in enough good clinical trials that measured benefits large enough to matter to the patient. Whether a medicine is made from a plant or manufactured in a laboratory, the same scientific standards apply if you want to know which treatment might be the best for you."

To help consumers, the Institute also published a new guide for consumers considering using dietary supplements or complementary medicine products. The fact sheet lists key questions that could help people make decisions for or against a particular treatment. The fact sheet, along with research results on a range of treatments, is available from today on www.informedhealthonline.org.

The Institute's website, Informed Health Online, keeps consumers informed about up-to-date evidence on health issues. Information released today addresses depression, premenstrual syndrome and nausea after an operation. Readers can subscribe to a newsletter to stay up-to-date with the Institute's publications for consumers.
