Prescribing Information:

• BioCeuticals suggests that patients switch to specific preconception multivitamin when planning to become pregnant.
• The upper tolerable limit for boron in adults, including pregnant and lactating women aged 19-50 years, is 20mg daily.
• Caution should be exercised in patients taking immunosuppressant drugs including cyclophosphamide. The ability of withania to stimulate stem cell proliferation has led to concerns that it could reduce the effectiveness of treatments.
• Withania may theoretically have an additive effect on barbiturates and benzodiazepines if used concomitantly.
• Withania has abortifacient effects and is likely unsafe when used in pregnancy.
• Avoid using in breastfeeding; insufficient evidence.
