Precautions

  • Ginseng can lower blood glucose — patients on insulin or oral hypoglycaemics need monitoring.
  • Ginseng may increase bleeding risk and interacts with warfarin; avoid alongside anticoagulants without advice, and stop before planned surgery.
  • Ginseng can raise blood pressure and cause insomnia — avoid in uncontrolled hypertension, and take in the morning.
  • Do not exceed the stated dose or take alongside another multivitamin.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Take after food, and separate from tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics and thyroid hormone by at least two hours.
  • Contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding without medical advice; ginseng is not recommended in pregnancy.
