Who should consult a doctor before taking the syrup? — Icelandic lichen syrup 120ml Vitateka

Iceland moss syrup is not a medicine, but as with any food supplement, there are a number of situations in which you should talk to a doctor or pharmacist first.

Restrictions and cases where a consultation is needed:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — these are contraindications: the syrup is not taken during these periods.
• Sensitivity to any of the ingredients — the syrup is not taken if you are intolerant to any of its ingredients (including mint or menthol); if you have previously reacted to other plant extracts, study the ingredients carefully and consult a specialist if necessary.
• Regularly taking other medicines or supplements — some plant ingredients can interact with medicines, so if you are on long-term drug treatment, it is best to check compatibility with a pharmacist.

Otherwise, healthy adults and teenagers usually take such syrups without additional restrictions, following the instructions on the packaging.
