The TGA have recently issued a safety advisory for 'very rare' reactions to Valeriana officinalis (Valerian) following 15 reports of liver injury since 1983. Most cases of reported liver damage resolved after the use of Valerian was discontinued. The current alert and investigation was triggered by an adverse event in 2019.
