Cautions and Contraindications
* This formula is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.
* Patients who wear a pacemaker, or individuals who take antiarrhythmic drugs [i.e., Tambocor (flecainide) and Procanbid (procainamide)] or cardiac glycosides [i.e., Lanoxin (digoxin)], should not take this formula. Fu Zi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata) may interact with these drugs by affecting the rhythm and potentiating the contractile strength of the heart.
* The etiology of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is excessive autoimmunity causing destruction of the thyroid gland and reducing production of thyroid hormone. Therefore, during the acute inflammatory phase of the disease when the immune system is activated by the presence of pathogens, qi tonics that boost the immune system, such as Ren Shen (Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng), should be used with caution as this herb may further stimulate the immune system. During this acute inflammatory phase, Nourish may be a more suitable formula as it contains herbs that nourish yin to support the thyroid gland, and herbs that clear deficiency heat to reduce inflammation.
