Severe arsenic poisoning due to Ayurvedic supplements.
Abstract
Patients that are taking Ayurvedic supplements have an increased risk of heavy metal toxicity. Lead, arsenic, and mercury are frequently identified in these supplements and can cause clinically significant toxicity. Clinicians should screen patients routinely for use of non-pharmaceutical medications and supplements.
