The safest response is for the patient to research the products and their manufacturers before taking them. This can help ensure that the product is safe and reputable. While manufacturers are required to list interactions of herbs with drugs and food, it is still important for consumers to do their own research. Products manufactured for drug and grocery store chains are not necessarily safe, and toxicological analysis is not required of all commercial herbal products.
