Brief Answer: No evidence available, monitoring required Detailed Answer: Hi , thanks for using HCM. I went through your query and understood your concerns. I hope you are referring to astragalus . It's a plant product and most of the plant products are considered safe. However there are no controlled studies to check for specific interactions and according to the available evidence the drug is safer. You may take this drug; but I would recommend your doctor monitor your blood pressure, hemogram, liver / renal functions and for any unusual symptoms. Remember there are documented effects of this drug; so please bring any unusual complaints to your doctor's notice. I hope this information helps you. Frel free to ask if any further query and I will be glad to answer them. wish you good health. regards
