Dosage: Class 2b. Emmenagogue and uterotonic (AHP). Five cups may cause arrhythmia (APA). None known (KOM; PHR). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). APA notes that, to my confusion and consternation, the FDA “banned horehound†from OTC remedies in 1989, finding no convincing support for efficacy. Their German counterparts approved the herb a year later for colds, coughs, and dyspepsia with its accompanying gas and anorexia (APA). The plant juice from white horehound is an irritant and may cause dermatosis (CAN). Because it is reputed to be abortifacient, and reputed to affect the menstrual cycle, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided (CAN). Lack of toxicity data and suggested cardioactive properties suggest it should not be taken in excessive doses. Larger doses are laxative (CAN). Contraindicated in cardiopathy, hypertension, and pregnancy (WAM). Large doses are possibly arrhythmigenic or laxative (AHP; WAM). Extracts (White Horehound) — HOH extracts are antihydroxytryptamine; EO is an expectorant, schistosomicidal, and vasodilator. Marrubiin is an antiarrhythmic, but in higher doses may reverse, becoming arrhythmogenic (CAN). Contraindications: Class 2b. Emmenagogue and uterotonic (AHP). Five cups may cause arrhythmia (APA).
