For practitioner dispensing and professionally guided use.

Consult your doctor, pharmacist or qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you take any heart or blood-pressure medicine.

Professional monitoring is particularly important with digoxin and antihypertensive medicines. Current MediHerb interaction guidance notes that Hawthorn may increase their effects, although the assessed interaction risk is low when appropriately monitored.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have low blood pressure, high blood pressure, heart failure, angina, an abnormal heart rhythm, previous heart attack, unexplained swelling or another diagnosed cardiovascular condition.

Do not use Hawthorn as a replacement for prescribed heart medication, blood-pressure monitoring, cardiac testing or medical treatment.

Do not take Hawthorn for new or unexplained palpitations without first having the cause assessed.

Call triple zero immediately for palpitations accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, fainting or blackouts.

Call triple zero for severe, worsening or prolonged chest pain or tightness, particularly when accompanied by breathlessness, sweating, nausea, dizziness or pain spreading to the arm, shoulder, back, neck or jaw.

Seek medical assessment for new ankle or leg swelling, increasing breathlessness, rapid weight gain, unusual fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance. These symptoms may require investigation for a heart or circulatory condition.

Possible adverse effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or muscle discomfort. Stop use and obtain advice if symptoms are persistent or significant.

Long-term safety has not been adequately established. NCCIH notes that research has not assessed Hawthorn safety beyond 16 weeks. Extended use should therefore remain professionally reviewed.
