Prescribing Information:

• FemmeBalance is not recommended for use in pregnancy or lactation.
• Avoid in patients with hypersensitivity/allergy to cinnamon, dandelion or other members of the Asteraceae family.
• Theoretically, cinnamon may have an additive effect when used with hypoglycaemic agents.
• Peony may cause gastric upset.
• Peony may oppose the actions of aromatase inhibitors, avoid this combination.
• Peony may have anticoagulat/antiplatelet effects and therefore may increase the risk of bleeding in people with bleeding disorders or medicated with anticoagulant/antiplatelet medication. Monitor patients closely and avoid using two weeks before surgery.
• Licorice may increase the metabolism of warfarin and decrease its effect.
• Many of the adverse effects attributed to licorice are due to glycyrrhetinic acid at doses above 100-400mg daily. However, those with hypertension, heart problems, kidney problems or using oral contraceptives may be more sensitive.
• Licorice may cause hypertension and hypokalaemia. Avoid using in hypertensive patients or in patients for whom hypokalaemia is a major risk (ie. use of digoxin or diuretics).
