dc.description.abstractAim: In recent years, the use of herbal products and drugs has been increasing all over the world. During irrational use, herbal product-drug interaction and side-effect rates also pose a risk. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of patients on herbal/product drug use habits and other sociodemographic characteristics by gender during their application to the Pain (Algology) outpatient clinic. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, which was created by using face-to-face questionnaire method on 200 patients between February and June 2022, after ethics committee approval, the herbal product/drug use habits and sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were questioned. Results: 71.5% of the participants were female and 28.5% were male. 29% of the participants were using herbal products. There was no significant relationship between the use of herbal products by gender (p = 0.419). It was determined that the users most frequently (32.8%) used these products to strengthen the immune system. It was determined that 36.2% of the users had knowledge about side effects and there was a significant difference between gender and knowledge about side effects (p = 0.035). Conclusions: It was determined that 29% of the patients used herbal products and the most frequently used herbal product was cinnamon. There was no significant relationship between the use of herbal products and gender. It has been determined that patients most frequently get advice from doctors about the use of herbal products, and the most common reason for using them is to strengthen the immune system. It is important for health care providers to have knowledge about herbal products and to question patients about possible herb-drug interaction
