If you are nursing, pregnant or considering pregnancy do not take Ashwagandha containing supplements.
If you have diabetes monitor your blood sugar closely, as Ashwaganda can lower the blood sugar level and interfere with the medication you are already taking.
Ashwagandha might decrease blood pressure. This could cause blood pressure to go to low in people with low blood pressure; or interfere with medications used to treat high blood pressure. Ashwagandha should be used cautiously if you have low blood pressure or take medications for your blood pressure.
Stomach ulcers: Ashwagandha can irritate the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Don’t use ashwagandha if you have a stomach ulcer.
Thyroid disorders: Ashwagandha might increase thyroid hormone levels. Ashwagandha should be used cautiously or avoided if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid hormone medications.
“Auto-immune diseases” such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or other conditions: Ashwagandha might cause the immune system to become more active, and this could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it’s best to avoid using ashwagandha.
Ashwagandha can interact with:
- Sedative medications such as Clonazepam, Lorazepam, Zopiclone, Zolpidem, Diazepam, and others, increasing the sedative effect.
- Immunosuppressant
- Thyroid hormone pills such as levothyroxine, as ashwagandha can increase the level of thyroid hormones in the body.
