Specializes in Family Medicine

Possibly Unsafe: Per warning label from one manufacturer: pregnancy and breast-feeding: using vitex agnus-castus during pregnancy or breast-feeding is possibly unsafe. The concern is that vitex agnus-castus can interfere with hormones. Don’t use vitex agnus-castus if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
