I would not take it. Willow Bark is one of the few "naturals" that actually can be potent. IP: Logged |

If you have a pharmacy that you usually go to ask them if they can give you a brief list of things that you should avoid (tell him or her about what your doctor said). They should be able to give you a list of herbals that are in the same category and should be avoided also. Be sure to check with your doctor as well. In any case, err on the side of caution, and if you're not sure, then don't take anything. IP: Logged |
