Is Eleuthera Root Advisable While On Diltiazem And Losartan?
Brief Answer:
Research is limited but does not show any interactions
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
A review of the research for eleuthero root is limited, but it does not show any significant effects with your medications. Eleuthera root can cause heat palpations, heart beat irregularities, and worsening your blood pressure. It is recommend only in individuals who can follow up with their primary care doctor often and frequent due to worsening cardiovascular effects. I would strongly recommend seeing your primary care doctor to get labs and routine check up while on eleuthero root to make sure it is not effecting your current care. I would also recommend taking your blood pressure daily to make sure it stays within a normal range. If you develop any palpations, chest pain, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, or abdominal pain, I would recommend stopping eleuthero root and seeing your doctor.
Overall, it sounds safe to start the medication as long as you're aware of the side effects and checking your blood pressure.
Let me know if you have additional symptoms.
