HERBAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Herbs
have shown overwhelming evidence that they work. However, just because a small
amount works well does NOT mean that more is better. As individuals we all have
different constitutions, sensitivities, allergic reactions and possible health
conditions. The following are merely guidelines. They include herbs offered on
our websites. This list does not help with administering information on possible
interactions and contraindications with prescription medicine. This needs to be
discussed with your physician. If you are taking prescription drugs, or have a
medical condition check with an appropriately qualified practitioner before
using herbs medicinally and before using any herb you are unfamiliar with, find
out its medicinal properties by researching it thoroughly and/or consulting an
appropriately qualified practitioner or expert.
Caution: Do not use the following
product's (BreastSuccess, Virility Pills, Yerba Diet, Liquid Rx, Female Rx,
Premium Diet Patch, Human Growth Agent, Virility Patch Rx) if you are pregnant,
nursing, or have the following conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease,
thyroid disease, glaucoma, diabetes, difficulty urinating due to prostate
enlargement, or if you are now taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor
(MAOI) (certain drugs for depression, psychiatric or emotional conditions, or
Parkinson's disease), or for two (2) weeks after stopping the MAOI drug. If you
are uncertain whether your prescription drug contains an MAOI, consult a
physician before taking this product. Do not exceed recommended dosage.
SHOULD I CHECK WITH MY DOCTOR OR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER BEFORE USING A
SUPPLEMENT? This is a good idea, especially for certain
population groups. Dietary supplements may not be risk-free under certain
circumstances. If you are pregnant, nursing a baby, or have a chronic medical
condition, such as, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease, be sure to consult
your doctor or pharmacist before purchasing or taking any supplement. While
vitamin and mineral supplements are widely used and generally considered safe,
you may wish to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking these or any
other dietary supplements. If you plan to use a dietary supplement in place of
drugs or in combination with any drug, tell your health care provider first.
Many supplements contain active ingredients that have strong biological effects
and their safety is not always assured in all users. If you have certain health
conditions and take these products, you may be placing yourself at risk.
SOME SUPPLEMENTS MAY INTERACT WITH PRESCRIPTION AND OVER-THE-COUNTER
MEDICINES. Taking a combination of supplements or using these products
together with medications (whether prescription or OTC drugs) could under
certain circumstances produce adverse effects. Be alert to advisories about
these products, whether taken alone or in combination. For example: Coumadin (a
prescription medicine), ginkgo biloba (an herbal supplement), aspirin (an OTC
drug) and vitamin E (a vitamin supplement) can each thin the blood, and taking
any of these products together can increase the potential for internal bleeding.
SOME SUPPLMENTS CAN HAVE UNWANTED EFFECTS DURING SURGERY.
It is important to fully inform your doctor about the vitamins, minerals,
herbals or any other supplements you are taking, especially before elective
surgery. You may be asked to stop taking these products at least 2-3 weeks ahead
of the procedure to avoid potentially dangerous supplement/drug interactions --
such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure and increased bleeding - that
could adversely affect the outcome of your surgery.
