Lúpulo

Existe interés en usar lúpulo para varios propósitos, pero no hay suficiente información confiable para decir si podría ser útil.

Advertencias y precauciones especiales:

Moderadas

Tenga cuidado con esta combinación

Estrógenos

El lúpulo puede tener algunos de los mismos efectos que el estrógeno. La ingesta de lúpulo junto con estrógeno podría disminuir los efectos del estrógeno.

Medicamentos modificados por el hígado (sustratos del citocromo P450 1A2 (CYP1A2))

Algunos medicamentos son modificados y degradados por el hígado. El lúpulo puede cambiar la rapidez con que el hígado descompone estos medicamentos. Esto podría cambiar los efectos y los efectos secundarios de estos medicamentos.

Medicamentos modificados por el hígado (sustratos del citocromo P450 3A4 (CYP3A4))

Algunos medicamentos son modificados y degradados por el hígado. El lúpulo puede cambiar la rapidez con que el hígado descompone estos medicamentos. Esto podría cambiar los efectos y los efectos secundarios de estos medicamentos.

Medicamentos sedantes (depresores del SNC)

Los lúpulos pueden causar somnolencia y respiración lenta. Algunos medicamentos, llamados sedantes, también pueden causar somnolencia y respiración lenta. Tomar lúpulo con medicamentos sedantes puede causar problemas respiratorios y / o mucha somnolencia.

Hierbas que pueden actuar como estrógenos

El lúpulo puede tener los mismos efectos que el estrógeno. Usarlo junto con otros suplementos con efectos similares podría aumentar los efectos similares al estrógeno y los efectos secundarios. Ejemplos de suplementos con este efecto incluyen cohosh negro, kudzu, peonía y trébol rojo.

Hierbas y suplementos con propiedades sedantes

Hops might cause sleepiness and slowed breathing. Taking it along with other supplements with similar effects might cause too much sleepiness and/or slowed breathing in some people. Examples of supplements with this effect include kava, L-tryptophan, melatonin, and valerian.
