Abstract
CAM products are commonly used in Australians with moderate depression, particularly in female or older patients. The range and number of CAM in this group with common comorbidity may present additional unknown risks due to potential interactions with other prescribed medications with a myriad of biological and pharmacological effects. The importance of establishing whether depressed patients are taking CAM, the particular CAM and whether the CAM interacts with each other, other drugs used for depression or the biological process of the depression itself are factors to be considered at each assessment.
