If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use cat's claw without first talking to your healthcare provider. Immunosuppressive Medications
In theory, because cat's claw
may stimulate the immune system, this herb should not be used with medications
intended to suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporin or other medications
prescribed following an organ transplant. This theory has not been tested
scientifically. NSAIDs
Cat's claw may protect against gastrointestinal damage
associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as
ibuprofen. |
