Current MediHerb interaction guidance advises monitoring when Hawthorn is used with antihypertensive medicines because it may increase their effects. Monitoring is also advised with digoxin because Hawthorn may increase its effect, although the interaction is assessed as low risk when appropriately managed.

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

Do not use Hawthorn as a substitute for prescribed medicine, blood-pressure monitoring, ECG testing, cardiac imaging or medical treatment.

New, frequent or unexplained palpitations should be assessed by a doctor. Call triple zero immediately when palpitations occur with chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting or blackouts.

Call triple zero for chest pain that is severe, worsening, heavy or tight, lasts longer than 10 minutes, or occurs with breathlessness, sweating, nausea, dizziness or pain extending to the arm, neck, back or jaw.

Seek medical assessment for new ankle or leg swelling, increasing breathlessness, unusual fatigue, rapid weight gain, reduced exercise tolerance or difficulty breathing when lying down. These symptoms can occur with heart and circulatory conditions and should not be managed by increasing the Hawthorn dosage.

Possible adverse effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or muscle discomfort.

Adequate safety information for extended use is limited. NCCIH notes that research has not established Hawthorn safety beyond 16 weeks, so longer use should remain professionally reviewed.
