Abstract
Community pharmacies are popular suppliers of complementary and alternative
medicines (CAMs) and pharmacists encounter requests from consumers for
information on them. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which
community pharmacists, and final year pharmacy students at the University of the
Western Cape, can meet their professional obligations to advise on CAMs.
