CHANCA PIEDRA - Uses, Side Effects, and More

Lithium interacts with CHANCA PIEDRA

Chanca piedra might have an effect like a water pill or "diuretic." Taking chanca piedra might decrease how well the body gets rid of lithium. This could increase how much lithium is in the body and result in serious side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider before using this product if you are taking lithium. Your lithium dose might need to be changed.

Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with CHANCA PIEDRA

Chanca piedra might decrease blood sugar. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking chanca piedra along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed. Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.

Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with CHANCA PIEDRA

Chanca piedra might slow blood clotting. Using chanca piedra with medications that also slow clotting may increase the risk of bleeding. Some of these drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), dipyridamole (Persantine), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Norepinephrine (Levophed) interacts with CHANCA PIEDRA

Norepinephrine treats low blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict. Chanca piedra contains a chemical that might reduce this effect of norepinephrine. In theory, chanca piedra might lessen the effects of norepinephrine and increase the risk of blood pressure becoming too low.

Water pills (Diuretic drugs) interacts with CHANCA PIEDRA

Chanca piedra seems to work like "water pills" by causing the body to lose water. However, other early research shows that chanca piedra may not have this effect. Taking chanca piedra along with other "water pills" might cause the body to lose too much water. Losing too much water can cause you to be dizzy and your blood pressure to go too low. Some "water pills" include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.
