Stomach symptoms and medicines deserve attention

Reported problems include nausea, reflux and allergic reactions. Verbraucherzentrale advises against combining frankincense preparations with warfarin. Medication use therefore matters when discussing a product with a clinician or pharmacist. 1

What remains uncertain in pregnancy?

Safety of medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well established. Small studies of asthma or cancer-related brain swelling are not a basis for replacing established treatment. 2

For information, not individual medical advice. Ingredient studies do not establish the effectiveness of these products.
