If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use German chamomile without first talking to your healthcare
provider.
Sedatives
Because of its calming effects, chamomile probably
should not be taken in conjunction with sedative medications (particularly those
that belong to a class called benzodiazepines such as alprazolam and lorazepam)
or alcohol.
Warfarin
Patients taking blood-thinning medications such as
warfarin should use German chamomile only under the careful supervision of a
healthcare practitioner. Although not proven scientifically, this herb, in
theory, may enhance the effects of the medication. |
