Cautions:
• Guggul is traditionally believed to stimulate the menstrual cycle and the tone of the uterus; it is therefore best avoided in cases of pelvic inflammatory disease or menorrhagia.
• Guggul should not be used in cases of hyperthyroidism.
• May potentiate or alter the effects of thyroid medications. Consult your physician.
• Mild GI problems have been noted in a few people.
• A small subset of Guggul users may develop a rash, which disappears when they stop taking the supplement.
• Guggul reduces the bioavailability of blood pressure drugs diltiazem (Cardizem®) and propranolol (Inderal®), as well as the cancer drug cyclophosphamide. Guggul must not be taken with acetaminophen (eg. Tylenol®).
