Drug Interactions

Medications:  Those using medications may need to be aware that Cat's Claw may decrease the time that the liver takes to break down medications.  This may result in increasing the effect of the medication. 

Blood Pressure Medications:  Cat's Claw may decrease blood pressure.  When combined with blood pressure medicine, it may cause the pressure to go too low. 

Immunosuppressants:  These medications decrease the immune system and interact with Cat's Claw, which increases the immune system.  This is even more important in cases where the patient has an auto-immune disease such as multiple sclerosis or lupus, among others. 

Blood disorders: Cat's Claw slows blood clotting and might increase risk or bleeding or bruises in those with clotting disorders or on blood-thinner medications. 

Leukemia:  Do not use Cat's Claw

Surgery:  Discontinue use of Cat's Claw at least 2 weeks prior to surgery.

Consult your healthcare provider before using Cat's Claw if you are using prescription medications.
