Safety & Side Effects

Efeitos Colaterais Relatados

  • GI side effects (diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, abdominal pain) — most common
  • May cause uterine contractions (contraindicated in pregnancy)
  • Headache
  • Skin rash (rare)

Interações Conhecidas

  • Diabetes medications (berberine significantly lowers blood sugar; risk of hypoglycemia)
  • Cyclosporine (berberine inhibits CYP3A4, increasing cyclosporine levels)
  • Anticoagulants (may have additive blood-thinning effects)
  • Metformin (additive glucose-lowering effect; monitor closely)
  • Macrolide antibiotics (berberine inhibits CYP3A4)

Ingestão máxima tolerável: Generally well-tolerated up to 1,500 mg/day in divided doses
