Cat's claw has been documented with immunostimulant effects and is contraindicated before or following any organ or bone marrow transplant or skin graft.

Cat's claw has been documented with antifertility properties and is contraindicated in persons seeking to get pregnant.

Cat's claw has been documented with chemicals which can reduce platelet aggregation and thin the blood. It is contraindicated in persons with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia.

Drug Interactions: Based upon animals studies, cat's claw may protect against gastrointestinal damage associated with NSAIDs such as ibuprofen. May potentiate coumadin and blood-thinning drugs.

Other Practitioner Observations: Cat's claw requires sufficient stomach acid to help break down the tannins and alkaloids during digestion and to aid in absorption. Avoid taking capsules at the same time as antacids.

Large dosages of cat's claw (3-4 gram dosages) have been reported to cause some abdominal pain or gastrointestinal problems including diarrhea (due to the tannin content of the vine bark). The diarrhea or loose stools tend to be mild and go away with continued use. Discontinue use or reduce dosage if diarrhea persists longer than 3-4 days.
