4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interactions

Only limited data on pharmacological interactions with other medicinal products are available. Clinically relevant interactions with drugs metabolised by the CYP 2D6, CYP 3A4/5, CYP 1A2 or CYP 2E1 pathway have not been observed.

Additive effects with hypnotics and other sedatives cannot be excluded and therefore co-medication is not recommended as a general precaution.

The effect of Kalms Day may be increased by alcohol. Excessive concomitant consumption of alcohol should therefore be avoided.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

The safety of Kalms Day during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. Due to the lack of data, use during pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Kalms Day may impair ability to drive and use machines.

Patients who are affected should not drive or operate machinery.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. nausea, abdominal cramps) may occur. The frequency is not known.

If other adverse reactions not mentioned above occur, a qualified healthcare professional e.g. a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.

4.9 Overdose

Valerian root at a dose of approximately 20 g (equivalent to 77 to 96 tablets) caused benign symptoms (fatigue, abdominal cramp, chest tightness, lightheadedness, hand tremor and mydriasis), which disappeared within 24 hours. If symptoms arise, treatment should be supportive.

After intake of very high doses of valerian root over several years (daily consumption corresponding to approximately 10 g of the drug) withdrawal symptoms (delirium) have been reported.

No case of overdose has been reported for Hops Strobile.
