⚠️ Critical Cautions & Interactions
Cat's Claw is not suitable for everyone and comes with specific medical contraindications: 
  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: It should be entirely avoided as it may cause uterine contractions or harm fetal development. 
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Because of its immunostimulant nature, it may aggravate conditions like multiple sclerosis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Blood-Thinning Medications: It may slow blood clotting, increasing the risk of bleeding when combined with anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin) or antiplatelet drugs. 
  • Blood Pressure Medications: Taking Cat's Claw with antihypertensive drugs can cause your blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels. 
  • Immunosuppressants: It counters the effects of immunosuppressant drugs (e.g., after organ transplants).
  • Surgery: Discontinue use at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery to prevent excessive bleeding.
