Interactions overview • Goldenseal or its component berberine could increase the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants ("blood thinners") such as warfarin (Coumadin) or heparin, antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix), and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve). • Goldenseal may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's cytochrome P450 enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be increased in the blood, and this may cause increased effects or potentially serious adverse reactions. Chemicals in goldenseal may increase the effects of L-phenylephrine and decrease the effects of tetracycline, neostigmine, or yohimbine. • Berberine may reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of P,glycoprotein-mediated substrates including chemotherapeutic agents such as daunomycin. 376 Goldenseal • Berberine may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when medications that may also lower blood sugar are used. Patients taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or using insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified health care provider. Medication adjustments may be necessary. • Berberine may lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, increasing the effects ofsome drugs like lovastatin (Mevaeor). • Interactions with beta-blockers or 1,3,-bis-(2-chloroethyl)I-nitrosourea (BCNU) may occur. Precautions Avoid during pregnancy, in cases of high blood pressure, or in the week preceding surgery, as it may increase blood pressure.  It also can elevate blood sugar levels and blood pressure in one who is already so inclined; use only under the guidance of a qualified health-care professional in such cases.  Use only for short periods (three weeks or less), as long-term use can kill off friendly intestinal flora and reduce assimilation of B vitamins. Follow a course of goldenseal with probiotics such as acidophilus. Large amounts may cause diarrhea and over stimulate the nervous system.
