A.Vogel Boldocynara may cause side effects such as:
- Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions like itching, rash, or hives (urticaria); if these occur, discontinue use and seek immediate medical advice. The frequency of these reactions is not known[1].
- Mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as slight diarrhoea, flatulence, abdominal spasms, hyperacidity, discomfort, nausea, and heartburn may also occur; frequency is unknown[1].
Additional cautions and contraindications include:
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose[2][3][5].
- Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals due to insufficient safety data[1][2][3][5].
- Do not use if you have obstructed bile ducts, liver cancer, or severely deteriorated liver or kidney function[2][3][5].
- This product is not recommended for children[2][3][5].
- Contains alcohol, which may not be suitable for some individuals[1].
- Consult a healthcare professional before using if you are on chronic medication or have acute/severe liver complaints (e.g., hepatitis, biliary tract occlusion)[2][3][4][5].
There are no known effects on the ability to drive or use machines, but patients should be aware of any individual response, especially when first using the product[1].
Reporting of side effects is advised if symptoms arise. While Boldocynara is generally described as safe and well-tolerated in clinical investigations, rare but severe adverse effects have been documented for boldo (a component of the formula), including allergic reactions and liver toxicity—these effects typically require higher doses than recommended or underlying health vulnerabilities[6][7].
As with all herbal supplements, there is potential for interaction with prescription medication, notably those affecting the liver or with anticoagulant properties (e.g., warfarin). Always consult a healthcare provider before combining herbal and prescription therapies[4][7].
