Side Effects of Panax Ginseng
Children or pregnant or nursing women should avoid Panax ginseng. People with hormone-dependent illnesses such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or cancers of the breast, ovaries, uterus, or prostate should avoid Panax ginseng because it may have estrogenic effects.
Panax ginseng may decrease the rate and force of heartbeats, so it shouldn't be used by people with heart disease (unless under the supervision of a healthcare provider).
Panax ginseng may lower blood sugar levels, so it shouldn't be taken by people with diabetes unless under a doctor's supervision. In addition, Panax ginseng may interact with insulin and other drugs for diabetes, such as metformin, glyburide, glimepiride and glipizide.
Panax ginseng may worsen insomnia.
Side effects of Panax ginseng may include nervousness, agitation, insomnia, diarrhea, headaches, high blood pressure and heart palpitations.
