Salespeople Aren’t Medical Experts by Emiyani: 7:07pm On Sep 24, 2021
If you’re getting an herbal product from a retail chain, keep in mind that the salesperson might have limited knowledge about how the product works. They also might not be aware of reported problems or how the herbs might interact with medications that you may be taking. Many herbal manufacturers also make false claims about the health benefits of these products. For all of these reasons and the lack of proven health benefits, it’s best to avoid herbal weight loss supplements or to talk to your healthcare provider about other options.

Other things to keep in mind should you still decide to try an herbal weight loss supplement:

Do not take herbs if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
Do not take herbs if you are nursing.
Do not give herbs to a baby or child.
Only buy preparations that have the plant’s ingredients listed on the package. (Note: There is no guarantee of the health benefits promoted by herbal products.)
Do not take herbal remedies if you are taking a long-term drug (e.g., high blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and other drugs). If you are unsure, talk with a healthcare provider before taking any herbal preparation.
Do not take herbal remedies if you take drugs that have a narrow margin for safety, such as warfarin (Coumadin®), digoxin, phenytoin (Dilantin®), lithium (Lithobid®, Eskalith®) and theophylline (Theo-Dur®, Theo-24®, others. If you are unsure, talk with a healthcare provider before taking any herbal preparation.
