Contraindicated in bradycardia.

Contraindicated in cardiac insufficiency.

Consult your doctor before use if you have a slow or irregular heart rate, heart failure, a pacemaker, fainting episodes, unexplained dizziness, low blood pressure or another diagnosed cardiovascular condition.

Bradycardia can cause faintness, dizziness, breathlessness, weakness or fatigue. People with a slow heart rate and these symptoms require prompt medical assessment rather than sedative herbal treatment.

Heart failure and other forms of cardiac insufficiency may involve breathlessness, tiredness, dizziness, fainting and swelling of the legs or ankles. These symptoms should not be managed by increasing the Jamaica Dogwood dosage.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before combining Jamaica Dogwood with sleeping tablets, benzodiazepines, sedative antihistamines, opioid medicines, anticonvulsants, anaesthetic medicines, alcohol or other products that cause drowsiness.

Current MediHerb interaction guidance identifies a possible additive sedative effect with central nervous system depressants. The concern is considered low or theoretical, but monitoring for increased sedation is advised.

Do not combine several sleep, calming or pain-support products without professional review.

Do not drive or operate machinery if affected by drowsiness, dizziness, weakness or reduced alertness.

Do not use Jamaica Dogwood as a substitute for prescribed pain medicine, sleep medicine, anxiety treatment, cardiac medication or neurological assessment.

Persistent or recurring nerve pain should be properly investigated. Neuralgia can involve shooting, stabbing, burning, electric-shock sensations, tingling or altered sensitivity and may have several possible causes.

Seek urgent medical care for a sudden severe headache or a headache accompanied by confusion, vomiting, neck stiffness or visual changes.

Call triple zero for chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, new weakness, difficulty speaking or another sudden neurological or cardiac symptom.

The page provides an adult dosage only. Do not give this concentrated 60% ethanol practitioner extract to a child or adolescent unless an age-appropriate amount has been individually prescribed.

Discontinue use at least seven days before general anaesthesia, surgery or an invasive procedure unless otherwise directed by your treating healthcare professional.

Tell your doctor, surgeon and anaesthetist that you use Jamaica Dogwood.

Stop use and seek professional advice if marked drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, faintness, nausea, unusual sweating, tremor, altered sensation or another unexpected reaction develops.
