Prescribing Information:

• In vivo evidence suggests inhibitory effect of schisandra on CYP3A4 activity, particularly for the gomisin C constituent; however, clinical studies have not yet confirmed the effect. Serum levels of drugschiefly metabolised by CYP 3A4 may increase.
• Various lignans from schisandra, including schisandrol A, gomisin A, schisandrin A and B and schisandrin B, have demonstrated an inhibitory on P-glycoprotein in vitro; however, the effect has not been confirmed clinically. Theoretically, the bioavailability of P-gp substrates could be increased.
• A theoretical interaction exists with MAOI antidepressants and rhodiola.
• The administration of rhodiola is not recommended for bipolar states.
