Results: A total of 257people responded the questionnaire. Among them, 81.3% reported experiences of HFF use. Female weremore likely than male to use HFFs. There were no differences in demographic characteristics between HFFusers and non-users in relation to age, education, and household income. Higher level of education wasassociated with high-level perception of HFF function (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.48, 10.1) and a positive relationshipwas observed between the maximum number of HFFs used concurrently and age of the respondents. Amongthe HFF users, 42.6% reported concurrent HFF-medication use. However 73.3% of them did not disclosetheir use to physician or pharmacist and only 30.2% were informed about potential drug-HFF interactions. Pharmacy was most commonly reported as the source from which the respondents were informed aboutpotential interactions. Conclusion: Many people had used HFF and medications concurrently while not beinginformed about potential HFF-drug interactions. Pharmacists and physicians should be vigilant for risk ofthe interactions and actively determine whether the patient is using an HFF before prescribing and administratingmedications.
