VITATEKA Südametilgad is a food supplement, not a medicine, but that does not mean it can be taken without regard to your state of health. Several groups of people should take particular care.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women. According to the product description, the drops are not to be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- People with chronic heart and vascular conditions. Hawthorn is traditionally used in the cardiovascular area, and if you already have a diagnosis or prescribed treatment, it is important to make sure the supplement does not interact undesirably with your medication.
- Those taking medication. Valerian and motherwort may enhance the effect of some sedatives and other medicines. If you take anything on a regular basis, check compatibility with a specialist.
- People with a known sensitivity to herbs. Allergic reactions to plant extracts do occur, so if you tend to react to herbs, start cautiously and stop taking the drops at the first sign of discomfort.
- Those who avoid alcohol. The product contains alcohol — this needs to be taken into account with certain liver conditions, during recovery from alcohol dependence or for religious reasons.
In all these cases, consulting a specialist is not a formality but a genuine precaution.
