Prescribing Information:

• Paracea Forte is not recommended for use during pregnancy; barberry is contraindicated in pregnancy and Chinese wormwood is not recommended in pregnancy or lactation.

• Clove is reported to have antiplatelet activity in vitro. Be cautious of use with anticoagulant/antiplatelet medications.
• Grapefruit juice is known to affect the metabolism of several medications. Paracea Forte contains an extract of grapefruit. The flavonoid narigenin is the component of grapefruit juice known to have been associated with an effect on these medications.
