What does Matricariae Flos interact with?

Chamomile‑based products can interact with certain medicines or other herbal supplements, mainly through enzyme modulation or additive pharmacologic effects. Avoid: - Avoid concurrent use with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs such as warfarin, as chamomile may enhance bleeding risk. - Avoid combining with sedative medications (e.g., benzodiazepines, barbiturates) because additive central nervous system depression is possible. Use with caution: - Use with caution when taking CYP1A2 substrates (e.g., theophylline) since flavonoids may affect metabolism. - Exercise caution if you are on antihypertensive agents, as mild vasodilatory effects could augment blood pressure lowering. - When using other topical botanicals, monitor for increased skin sensitivity or irritation.
