Prescribing Information:
- This product is not recommended for use in pregnancy and lactation.
- Hops contains phytoestrogens that may exert oestrogenic agonist or antagonist activities. The effects on hormone-sensitive conditions, such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer and endometriosis, are unknown. Caution is also advised with concomitant use alongside hormone replacement therapies.
- Zizyphus may have sedative effects. Caution is advised with patients taking CNS depressants.
- Rehmannia and zizyphus have been shown to exert hypoglycaemic activity in animal studies. Thus, caution is advised in patients using antidiabetic medications.
- Shatavari is thought to have diuretic properties that may affect the excretion and serum levels of certain medications including lithium.
- Sage is contraindicated in patients who experience seizures.
- Orally, lavender may cause gastrointestinal upset, constipation, headache and/or increased appetite.
- Theoretically, concomitant use of lavender with antihypertensive, CNS depressant and sedative medications may cause an additive effect.
