Cautions and Contraindications
* Resolve (Upper) is formulated for patients in the initial or early stages of masses in the breasts or lymphadenopathy. Patients with breast lump or large cyst should seek medical treatment to rule out tumor or cancer.
* Resolve (Upper) is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.
* Resolve (Upper) should be used with caution during menstruation as it may cause excessive bleeding.
* This formula is not designed for long-term use. It should be discontinued once the desired effects are achieved.
* Resolve (Upper) should be taken with food in individuals with a sensitive stomach.
* This herbal formula contains herbs that invigorate blood circulation, such as Dang Gui Wei (Extremitas Radix Angelicae Sinensis). Therefore, patients who are on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies, such as Coumadin (warfarin), should use this formula with caution, or not at all, as there may be a higher risk of bleeding and bruising.
* The safety status of using Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) in individuals with hormone-dependent cancer is unclear. According to one reference, use of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) is not associated with thickening of the endometrium or vaginal cell maturation, both of which would indicate an estrogenic effect. Furthermore, there is no confirmation of the presence of a phytoestrogen component or affect on hormone-dependent cancer, when ferulic acid is evaluated as the main component of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis). According to another reference, the water extract of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) has a weak estrogen-agonistic activity to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells (MCF-7).[8] In summary, due to conflicting and insufficient data, use of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) in patients with hormone-dependent cancer warrants caution pending further study
