Dosage: Class 2d. Not for use in large amounts by persons with pre-existing kidney disease and liver conditions, such as hepatosis and cirrhosis (AHP). “Seek advice from a health care practitioner before use if you have any history of liver disease. Discontinue use if nausea, fever, fatigue, or jaundice occur (e.g., dark urine or yellow discoloration of the eyes)†(AHP). CAN cautions that the lignans may be hepatotoxic and cause dermatosis. Because of its hepatotoxic and uterine activity, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided. May interfere with MAOI therapy, due to the documented amino acid constituents. However they list mostly ubiquitous amino acids; does this mean that we should attach the MAOI warning to all herbs (CAN)? Canadian regulations do not allow chaparral as a nonmedicinal ingredient for oral use products (Michols, 1995). NDGA may induce mesenteric lymph node and renal lesions in rats. NDGA, with many reported biological activities, has LD50 = 4000 mg/kg orl mouse, 5500 mg/kg orl rat, and 830 mg/kg orl guinea pig. Removed from the generally listed as safe (GRAS) list in 1970 (LRNP, August 1993). Contraindications: Class 2d.

Dosage: Class 2b. CAN cautions that it may cause allergic reactions. May counteract the effectiveness of birth control pills (AHP). Contraindicated in pregnancy and nursing (PH2). Because of its hormonal action, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided (CAN). It may interfere with endocrine therapies (hormone replacement, oral contraception, sex hormones). The use of agnus castus to treat symptoms of corpus luteum deficiency is only recommended in patients not on any other hormonal therapy.†Commission E reports no contraindications or interactions for the fruit. Adverse effects: skin reactions, GI distress (AEH; KOM; SKY). Schulz et al., 1998, are more positive, reporting no serious side effects. High-dose experiments evoked some dose-dependent side effects but so mild as to generate no fears (SHT). May interfere with metabolism of dopamine-receptor antagonists (APA). Vitex acting on the pituitary increasing luteinizing hormone, helping reduce prolactin and increase progesterone (SKY). I suspect there was an idiomatic problem leading PH2 to suggest that chaste tree inhibits lactation (main active principles aucubin and agnoside. More people seem to spell it agnuside and I have entered agnuside as antiprolactin). I suspect they meant these compounds inhibit prolactin rather than inhibit lactation. Chaste tree treatment is twice as good for PMS symptoms (abdominal tension, breast tenderness, constipation, depressed mood, edema, and headache) as treatment with pyridoxine.
