Over the past several years, safety concerns involving several herbs have arisen, sometimes leading to curtailing or discontinuing their use. A common thread in the various cases is that the herbs were being used by a larger number of people than before, and/or were used in either different ways or different contexts (e.g., in the context of taking drug therapies) compared to the traditional methods. Thus, rare and often unpredicted adverse reactions were found with sufficient frequency to generate worries about allowing their continued availability. Potentially damaging effects to the liver, kidneys, or heart have been principal causes of withdrawal of herbs from the market. Ordinary allergic reactions, as can occur with foods and drugs, are a more widespread type of adverse response; these have not yet caused withdrawal of herbs from the market.
Special Cautions:At customary dosage levels, Notoginseng Root poses no known risks.
Special Information If You Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding:Notoginseng Root has caused miscarriage. Avoid it during pregnancy
Further comments on additional benefits and usage in China:
In China, physicians use Notoginseng to stop most types of internal bleeding. It is also prescribed for angina. It is purported to have good effects on coronary circulation, possibly enhancing cardiac contractility, dilating coronary arteries, lowering blood pressure, reducing the total serum lipids and preventing arrhythmia. In China, the herb is also applied externally directly on injured tissues to stop bleeding quickly and to alleviate acute pain.
Warning:
Notoginseng should not be used by pregnant women. Pregnant women and persons under medication must consult a physician prior to use. These statements are for educational purposes only and we must insist on the importance of consulting a health-care professional whenever your health declines. Medelys herbal extract products are made to help improve your health and not to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent chronic disease or other.
Precaution:Notoginseng root can be safely taken in large doses, but it should not be used during pregnancy, as it may contribute to miscarriage.
Interactions:Notoginseng has been reported to interact with warfarin and heparin, which are medications to thin the blood, or anticoagulants; and with ticlopidine, a drug given to prevent blood platelets from clumping and to prolong bleeding time. Patients taking any of these medications should not take preparations containing notoginseng.
