Same goes for generic medication here. Not sure how that works abroad.

I think many people make assumptions that "natural" means safe, forgetting that not all pharmaceuticals are synthetic. All medicines should be treated with the same caution. I would be skeptical at anything that has claims to be 100% safe and check with the pharmacist for interactions with any other drugs you may be taking.
