Re: One man's herb
First off, herbals are not packaged and sold as medicine. They are sold as natural food suppliments; big, big difference.
​
Sthen how do I know if the herbal supplement will or will not interact with my hydrochlorothiazide (blood thinner) or my metoprolol tartrate (High Blood pressure medicine).
​
On the side of the bottle of the seonsd medicine listed it states
​
Metoprolol label writes:
​
WARNING: take with or immediately after food.
​
It is very important that you take or use this exactly as directed. Do not skip doses or discontinue unless directed by your doctor.
May cause dizziness
may cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify this effect. Use care when operating a car or dangerous machines.
​
Some non-prescription drugs may aggravate your condition. Read all labels carefully. If a warning appears, check with your doctor
​
A similar but different warning is on the other.
​
Now what instructions are on the herbals?

Re: One man's herb
So I could not take your herbal substance. Your manufacturer is obviously doing the correct thing without regulation, but that does not mean that all do. What if I were to buy it from a manufacturer who is not so ethical and puts no cardio/vascular warning. Using it could kill me, and is most likely the cause of a number of drug related deaths. If all manufacturers placed warnings of interaction on their products, there would be no need for regulations, only some don't.

Re: One man's herb
Nonsense! Most of our herbals have no chemicals in them.
​
Then what are they? They are composed of chemicals as are all foods, vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, digestive enzymes, salt, sugar, the entire human body etc.
All are composed of chemical elements as is the air we breathe, the water we drink, the clothes we wear and this keyboard I am typing on.
