CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally and appropriate, short-term.
A single dose of lemon balm extract 3-6 mg/kg has been safely used in children aged 6-7 years (19525). A specific combination product providing lemon balm leaf extract 80 mg and valerian root extract 160 mg (Euvegal forte, Dr. Willmar Schwabe Pharmaceuticals) 1-2 tablets once or twice daily has been safely used in children under 12 years of age for 30 days (14416). In infants up to 4 weeks old, multi-ingredient products (ColiMil, ColiMil Plus) containing lemon balm 64-97 mg daily have been used with apparent safety for up to 7 days (16735,96278).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally as a flavoring in foods. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists passion flower as a permitted food flavoring additive, to be used in the minimum quantity necessary (91203).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts, short-term. Passion flower extract has been used with apparent safety at doses up to 800 mg daily for up to 8 weeks (88198,102866). A specific passion flower extract (Pasipay, Iran Darouk Pharmaceutical Company) has been safely used at a dose of 45 drops daily for up to one month (8007,95036). Also, a tea prepared by steeping 2 grams of the dried aerial parts of passion flower in 250 mL of boiling water for 10 minutes has been used nightly for 7 nights (17374). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of passion flower when used topically.

Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Revitalizing Sleep Formula. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, concomitant use of hops with sedative drugs might cause additive sedation.
 Details
|
Hops extract does not seem to affect the metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates.
Details
In vitro research suggests that flavonoid constituents of hops inhibit CYP1A2 enzyme activity (10686). However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, does not affect levels of caffeine, a CYP1A2 probe substrate (105954).
|
Theoretically, hops extract might alter metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates; however, this effect may not be clinically significant.
Details
Animal research suggests that specific constituents of hops, called lupulones, can induce hepatic CYP3A4 enzyme activity (55325). However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients with normal metabolism shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, decreases the concentration of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 probe substrate, by 7.6%. This reduction is unlikely to be clinically relevant (105954).
|
Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of hops might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Details
|
Theoretically, concomitant use of lemon balm might have additive effects with CNS depressant drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, lemon balm might interfere with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Details
In vitro, constituents of lemon balm extract bind to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), preventing TSH receptor-binding and leading to the inhibition of TSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity (19727,19728). In animals, lemon balm extract has been shown to decrease levels of circulating TSH and inhibit thyroid secretion (19726).
|
Concomitant use of passion flower with sedative drugs might cause additive effects and side effects.
Details
|
Theoretically, passion flower might decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Details
In vitro research suggests that passion flower can induce CYP3A4 enzymes, albeit to a much lower degree than rifampin, a known CYP3A4 inducer (110704).
|
Theoretically, passion flower might reduce the bioavailability of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 substrates.
Details
In vitro research shows that the passion flower constituents apigenin and vitexin inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2. This inhibition may be dose-dependent. One specific high-flavonoid passion flower extract (Valverde) seems to inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2, while another extract with a lower flavonoid concentration (Arkocaps) shows less potent inhibition (105095). OATPs are responsible for the uptake of drugs and other compounds into the body; however, the specific activities of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 are not well characterized.
|
Theanine might lower blood pressure, potentiating the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, theanine might have additive sedative effects when used in conjunction with CNS depressants. However, it is unclear if this concern is clinically relevant.
Details
|
Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with alcohol.
Details
Valerian has sedative effects (9894). Theoretically, valerian might have an additive sedative effect when combined with alcohol. Excessive sedation has been reported in an alcohol-abusing individual who took valerian and Gingko biloba (19426). However, the potential interaction between valerian and alcohol has been disputed in other research. Limited evidence suggests that a combination of valerian 160 mg and lemon balm 80 mg (Euvegal) does not cause further deterioration in reaction ability and reaction rate when taken with alcohol as compared to the effects of alcohol alone (19427).
|
Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used with alprazolam. Also, valerian in high doses might modestly increase alprazolam levels, though this is not likely to be clinically significant.
Details
Valerian has sedative effects (9894). Theoretically, valerian might cause additive sedation when combined with alprazolam. Also, a small pharmacokinetic study shows that taking valerian extract 1000 mg daily (providing 11 mg valerenic acid) might increase alprazolam levels by about 19%. This might be due to valerian's mild inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) (13014). Despite being statistically significant, this increase is not likely to be clinically significant.
|
Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with CNS depressant drugs.
Details
|
Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Details
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian affects CYP2D6, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian is unlikely to affect the CYP2D6 enzyme (13014,13536,19430,19431). In one PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days did not affect the metabolism of dextromethorphan, a CYP2D6 substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of debrisoquine, an accepted CYP2D6 probe-substrate (13014,13536).
|
Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Details
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian extract might inhibit or induce CYP3A4, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian does not have a clinically significant effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme (6450,12214,13014,13536,19431). In one PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of midazolam, an accepted CYP3A4 probe-substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days modestly increases levels of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate, suggesting mild inhibition of CYP3A4 (13014,13536). However, this mild inhibition is unlikely to be clinically relevant.
|
Valerian might weakly inhibit glucuronidation and increase concentrations of drugs metabolized by UGT1A1 and UGT2B7.
Details
In vitro research shows that methanolic valerian extract and valerenic acid might competitively inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1) and UGT2B7 (81685).
|
Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs with sedative effects might cause additive therapeutic effects and adverse effects (19).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Revitalizing Sleep Formula. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, hops extract and oil are generally well tolerated when used in food amounts.
Hops extract also seems to be well tolerated when used in supplemental amounts.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Drowsiness, sedation.
Dermatologic ...Topically, allergic reactions have been reported after contact with the fresh hops plant and plant dust. Contact dermatitis is attributed to the pollen (4,12,105930).
Genitourinary ...Orally, supplements containing hops and soy have been associated with 4 cases of postmenopausal bleeding (55404). It is unclear if this effect is due to hops, soy, or the combination. Also, menstrual disturbances have been reported in female workers harvesting hops (10684,55405).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, hops might cause drowsiness and sedation. Historically, hops are thought to have sedative effects, since workers harvesting hops were observed to tire easily after oral contact with hop resin. The European Medicines Agency states that hops may have sedative effects; however, there is a lack of clinical research confirming that hops extract causes drowsiness and sedation (105930).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Occupational exposure to dust from hops, usually in combination with dust from other products, is associated with chronic respiratory symptoms such as dry cough, dyspnea, chronic bronchitis, and other occupational respiratory diseases (55333,55414).
General
...Orally, lemon balm seems to be well tolerated in food amounts and larger, medicinal amounts.
Topically, lemon balm seems to be well tolerated.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Wheezing has been rarely reported.
Cardiovascular ...Orally, a case of transient complete atrioventricular block and QT prolongation is reported in a 25-year-old female following the post-workout use of a specific product (Muscle Eze Advanced) containing lemon balm and several other ingredients. Symptoms of fatigue and lightheadedness started 1 week into use of the product. Product discontinuation led to restoration of normal sinus rhythm within 24 hours and normalization of the electrocardiogram within 2 weeks (112556). It is unclear whether this occurrence is due to lemon balm, other ingredients, or the combination.
Dermatologic ...Topically, lemon balm 1% cream applied 5 times daily to cold sores has been associated with two cases of irritation and one case of cold sore exacerbation. However, these effects do not appear to occur more often with lemon balm than with placebo (790).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, lemon balm might increase appetite in some patients (91732,104433). Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain have been reported rarely and do not seem to occur more often than in patients taking placebo (9993).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, lemon balm has been reported to cause dizziness and sedation; however, it does not seem to occur more often with lemon balm than placebo (9993,104433). Additionally, other clinical research shows that using lemon balm in conjunction with alcohol does not affect reaction time or influence cognitive performance (19427,19723).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, lemon balm has been associated with rare cases of wheezing (9993).
General
...Orally, passion flower is well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Confusion, dizziness, hypersensitivity, and sedation.
Cardiovascular ...There is a case report involving a 34-year-old female who was hospitalized with severe nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, prolonged QT interval, and episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia following use of passion flower extract tablets (Sedacalm, Bioplus Healthcare), 1500 mg on day 1 and 2000 mg on day 2 to relieve stress. All symptoms resolved within one week after passion flower was discontinued (6251).
Genitourinary ...The alkaloids harman and harmaline, which are sometimes found in small amounts in passion flower, have been reported to have uterine stimulant activity (4,11020,95037).
Hematologic ...Orally, passion flower has been reported to cause epistaxis in one clinical trial (95038). Vasculitis has also been reported with use of a specific herbal product (Relaxir) produced mainly from the fruits of passion flower (6).
Hepatic ...There is debate about whether passion flower contains cyanogenic glycosides. Several related Passiflora species do contain these constituents (3), including Passiflora edulis, which is associated with liver and pancreatic toxicity (7).
Immunologic
...An idiosyncratic hypersensitivity reaction characterized by urticaria and cutaneous vasculitis has been reported in a 77-year-old male with rheumatoid arthritis after taking a specific combination product that included passion flower extract (Naturest) (68308).
It is unclear if these effects were caused by passion flower or other ingredients.
In clinical trials, passion flower has been reported to cause allergy symptoms including sinus irritation; however, the frequency of these events was statistically nonsignificant when compared to treatment with midazolam 15 mg (95038).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, passion flower has been reported to cause muscle relaxation in a clinical trial (95038).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, sedation, dizziness, ataxia, and confusion have been reported in clinical trials. However, these events generally do not necessitate discontinuation (8007,15391,15392,95036,95038). Altered consciousness has been reported with use of a specific herbal product (Relaxir) produced mainly from the fruits of passion flower (6).
General
...Orally, L-theanine seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Drowsiness, headaches.
Neurologic/CNS
...Orally, L-theanine may cause headaches (36439).
Patients have also reported drowsiness, increased duration of sleep, and increased dream activity after oral L-theanine use (96331).
A case of subtle facial tic starting within 4 days of taking L-theanine 400 mg daily has been reported for a pediatric patient. Although the tics reportedly ceased once theanine was discontinued, the child had exhibited tics in the past. Therefore, the adverse effect was not thought to be related to L-theanine (91744).
General
...Orally, valerian is generally well-tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Dizziness, drowsiness, and mental slowness. Other reported side effects include headache, gastrointestinal upset, excitability, and vivid dreams. When used chronically and abruptly stopped, symptoms of withdrawal such as tachycardia, anxiety, irritability, and insomnia might occur. Advise patients to taper doses slowly after extended use.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Several case reports raise concerns about hepatotoxicity after the use of valerian and valerian-containing multi-ingredient dietary supplements. Withdrawal from chronic valerian use has been associated with cases of cardiac failure and hallucinations.
Cardiovascular ...When used orally in high doses for an extended period of time, valerian withdrawal has been associated with tachycardia and high output cardiac failure in one patient with a history of coronary artery disease (3487). Chest tightness has been reported for an 18-year-old female who took 40-50 capsules containing valerian 470 mg/capsule (659). A case of severe hypotension, suspected to be due to vasodilation, hypocalcemia, and hypokalemia, has been reported for a patient who injected an unknown quantity of a crude tap water extract of raw valerian root (81734).
Dermatologic ...Orally, valerian might rarely cause a rash. A case of valerian-related rash that resolved after valerian root discontinuation was reported in clinical research (19422).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, valerian has been associated with increased incidence of gastrointestinal problems including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain (15046,19406,19407,19422,110712). In one individual, taking 20 times the normal dose caused abdominal cramping (659).
Hepatic
...There have been several case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of multi-ingredient oral preparations containing valerian (8243,96241).
In one case report, a 57-year-old man presented with acute hepatitis after consuming a cold and flu remedy containing valerian 2 grams for 3 days; the remedy also contained white willow, elderberry, and horseradish. Although the use of the cold and flu remedy was discontinued one month prior to symptom presentation, the acute hepatitis was attributed to valerian root and treated with steroids (96241). It is possible, however, that some of these preparations may have been adulterated with hepatotoxic agents (8243).
Hepatotoxicity involving long-term use of single-ingredient valerian preparations has also been reported (3484,17578). Also, a case of a 38-year-old female with liver insufficiency and cirrhosis of a vascular parenchymal nature who developed hepatotoxic symptoms following valerian and ethyl-alcohol abuse has been reported (81697). Symptoms resolved and laboratory values normalized following intense plasmapheresis treatment. Another case of acute hepatitis characterized by elevated aminotransferases, mild fibrosis, and liver inflammation has been reported for a 50-year-old female who consumed valerian root extract 5 mL three times weekly along with 10 tablets of viamine, a product containing dry valerian extract 125 mg/tablet, for 2 months (81696). Because a variety of doses were used in these cases, and many people have used higher doses safely, these hepatotoxic reactions might have been idiosyncratic. Tell patients the long-term effect of valerian on liver function is unknown.
Musculoskeletal ...In a case report, combined intake of valerian and passionflower caused throbbing and muscular fatigue when taken concomitantly with lorazepam (19429).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, valerian might cause dizziness, headaches, fatigue, sleepiness, and mental dullness (3484,17578,19411,19422,81723,89407). The severity of adverse effects appears to increase with higher doses (19411). However, taking valerian extracts in doses up to 1800 mg does not appear to significantly affect mood or psychomotor performance (10424,15044). Valerian does not usually have a negative impact on reaction time, alertness, and concentration the morning after intake (2074,8296). Clinical research shows that a single dose of valerian root 1600 mg is not associated with any changes in sleepiness, reaction time, or driving performance within 1-4 hours after intake (96240). More serious side effects may occur when valerian is taken at higher doses. In one individual, 20 times the normal dose caused tremor of the hand and foot and lightheadedness (659). In a case report, combined intake of valerian and passionflower caused shaking of the hands and dizziness when taken concomitantly with lorazepam (19429).
Psychiatric ...Orally, valerian has been associate with reports of restlessness, excitability, uneasiness, agitation, and vivid dreams (3484,17578,19411,19422). Chronic use and rapid cessation can lead to withdrawal syndrome with symptoms of agitation, insomnia, and hallucinations (104003). There appears to be a trend towards increased severity of adverse effects with higher doses (19411). A case of acute hypomania has been reported for a 21-year-old female patient who took a valerian decoction in water each night for one month to treat subclinical anxiety. Symptoms included euphoric mood, rapid speech, and increased sociability and sexual interest. Following cessation of valerian use and treatment with quetiapine 100 mg daily for two weeks, the patient recovered (89405). In another case report, an 85-year-old male with mild cognitive impairment, major depression, anxiety, and chronic kidney disease presented to the emergency department with hallucinations, confusion, and agitation thought to be due to abrupt cessation after taking valerian 600 mg daily for about 6 months. The symptoms resolved in about 5 days (104003).
General
...There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of wild lettuce.
Orally, large amounts of wild lettuce, as well as eating prematurely harvested wild lettuce, can cause sweating, increased respiration, tachycardia, pupil dilation, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision disorders, pressure in the head, somnolence, excitatory states (18,93563), respiratory depression, coma, and death (4).
Topically, wild lettuce can cause contact dermatitis (4).
Intravenously, boiled wild lettuce has been reported to cause fever, severe headache, tachycardia, nausea, and abdominal pain in three intravenous drug users (93566).
Cardiovascular ...Orally, large amounts of wild lettuce or prematurely harvested wild lettuce has been reported to cause sweating, flushing, and tachycardia (18,93563).
Dermatologic ...Topically, wild lettuce can cause contact dermatitis (4). It can cause an allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many other herbs.
Gastrointestinal
...Orally, wild lettuce has been reported to cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps (93563).
Intravenously, boiled wild lettuce, prepared by hand in combination with valerian root, has been reported to cause nausea and abdominal pain in three intravenous drug users (93566).
Genitourinary ...Orally, wild lettuce can cause urinary retention (93563).
Immunologic ...Intravenously, boiled wild lettuce, prepared by hand in combination with valerian root, has been reported to cause fever, severe headache, and tachycardia in three intravenous drug users. This reaction was hypothesized to be due to an immunologic response (93566).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, large amounts of wild lettuce or prematurely harvested wild lettuce has been reported to cause dizziness, pressure in the head, somnolence, anxiety, headache, excitatory states (18,93563), and coma (4).
Ocular/Otic ...Orally, large amounts of wild lettuce or prematurely harvested wild lettuce has been reported to cause mydriasis, pupil dilation, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and vision disorders (18,93563).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, large amounts of wild lettuce or prematurely harvested wild lettuce has been reported to cause increased respiration (18) or respiratory depression (4).
