Herbal supplements and heart drugs a dangerous mix for Kansas City heart patients
Herbs and natural supplements are become commonplace as people search for natural remedies for their health problems. However, it is important to remember that natural is not always safe. Popular over-the-counter herbal remedies such as St. John’s wort, ginseng, gingko, garlic, black cohosh, ginger, and echinacea can be dangerous when combined with blood thinners or cholesterol-lowering statins. The herbs may dilute the drug, intensify its effect, or exacerbate side effects.
The Mayo clinic recently listed more than 25 products that should be avoided by those on heart medications. These include garlic, saw palmetto, ginkgo, echinacea, St. John’s wort, green tea, alfalfa, ginger, billberry, fenugreek, ginseng, grapefruit juice, aloe vera, black cohosh, hawthorn, yohimbe, licorice root, butcher’s broom, angelica, capsicum, gossypol, Irish moss, kelp, khella, lily of the valley, ephedra, night-blooming cereus, oleander and strophantus.
Always tell your doctor AND pharmacist if you are taking any natural remedy, herbal supplement or vitamin – even if those remedies were suggested by a medical professional. Many doctors are not aware of these dangerous interactions. Remember all drugs are potentially dangerous!
If you are a resident of Missouri or Kansas and you believe that you have been injured by a dangerous drug, vitamin or herbal supplement, contact the Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys. You may have a claim for any injuries or damages that occurred from taking the dangerous drug. An attorney will set up a free consultation and we’ll tell you if you have a case. Call 888-348-2616 at any time.
