Hawthorn Berry Isolate (Crataegus oxyacantha)/Heart Tonic

Contraindications: Large amounts (more than the recommended dosage) of Hawthorne Berry may result in sedation or dramatic drop in blood pressure. Signs of overdose include hypotension and arrhythmias. Using Hawthorn may potentiate the effects of some pharmaceutical heart medications - consult with your physician before using this product, as the medication dosage may need to be lowered. Taking Hawthorn and medicines used to treat or prevent blood clots together may cause your blood to be too thin, making you bleed or bruise more easily. Use with caution in cases of colitis and ulcers. Although it is believed to be one of the safest herbal medicines, there are a few other known side effects, although rare. These include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, excessive sweating, breathing difficulties, pounding heart, and usage should be stopped immediately and seek medical attention. It may also interact with prescription drugs used for treating male sexual dysfunction. This herbal extract may interact with muscle relaxants, narcotic painkillers, and drugs for anxiety, seizure and psychiatric conditions. Children and pregnant or nursing women should not use Hawthorn Berry unless directed by a physician.
