Hi, thank you for joining me for another Medicinal Monday. As promised all the information I go into in the video as well as the warning are listed below. Please play attention to the warning. I know we love herbs for everything they can do, but sometimes modern medicine is necessary, and we don't want to be messing around with mixing things together that should not be.

Warning
Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs (blood thinners)
Stinging nettle may affect the blood's ability to clot, and could interfere with blood-thinning drugs, including:
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Aspirin
Drugs for high blood pressure
Stinging nettle may lower blood pressure, so it could strengthen the effects of these drugs:
ACE inhibitors: Captopril (Capoten), Elaropril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Zestril), fosinopril (Monopril)
Beta-blockers: Atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), propranolol (Induran)
Calcium channel blockers: Nifedipine (Procardia), amlodipine (Norvasc), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin)
Diuretics (water pills)
Because stinging nettle can act as a diuretic, it can increase the effects of these drugs, raising the risk of dehydration:
Furosemide (Lasix)
Hydrocholorothiazide
Drugs for diabetes
Stinging nettle may lower blood sugar, so it could strengthen the effects of these drugs, raising the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Lithium
Stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect and may reduce the body's ability to remove this drug.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
In a scientific study of patients with acute arthritis, stewed stinging nettle leaves enhanced the anti-inflammatory effect of diclofenac, an NSAID. Although this effect can reduce pain, talk to your doctor before taking or using stinging nettle if you also take NSAIDs.
