Dear Dr. Anupama
Yes, it is difficult to know the clinical interactions of drugs between
different systems of medicine
However, having an idea of 'neighbour systems' is of considerable importance to
a physician to practice his own system
For example consider an example of a hypertensive patient under allopathic
treatment goes to an ayurvedic physician for treatment of any other new health
problem.
If the ayurvedic physician have sufficient knowledge on allopathic system, he
avoid prescribing drugs that cause hypotension or hypertension as their side
effect. These drugs may not be a problematic in non hypertensive patients.
Dr. Srisailam




Dear Dr Anand,
  Designing such a curriculum will be a tough job. We should have evidence that
there are no clinical interactions of drugs between different systems of
medicines. Patients can accept dying because of disease but not because of
medicines to treat the disease.

Dear Dr. Anupama
In my opinion, it should be made mandatory rather than optional subjects
Just take an example of a patient under Ayurvedic treatment, goes to allopathic
doctor in medical emergency
The allopathic doctor must be aware of the patient's existing medication i.e.,
ayurvedic medicines the patient taking already
Hence it should be made mandatory to study all other systems of medicine in the
final year of UG
I dont say exactly, to what extent it is possible.
Dr. Srisailam

Dear Dr Anand,
   In school class X exam we have an optional paper like Sanskrit, foreign
language etc. Similarly, in final year of MBBS/ BAMS/BHMS , we can have an
optional paper of our choice like Alternative medicine, Accupressure, Chinese
medicine etc so that we can have an idea of other systems of medicine being
practiced in different parts of the world.

Dear members
I do agree with Dr. Bharat
A subject on alternative therapies should be introduced in the final year of UG,
because one may practice after UG.
It is not wise to fit into PG curriculum as one may stop his/her education at
UG.
The subject may be 'Alternative Therapeutics' as suggested by Dr. Bharat, or it
may be 'Alternative Therapies'

Dear Dr. Anand,
Of course,at UG level.
In the last year of any system, we may introduce such course/subject.
One subject may be added in the last year-subject title may be e.g.-'Alternative
Therapeutics' .
