A member asked:
Can you take passionflower if you are taking blood pressure medicine?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Passionflower: Like most of these supplements, evidence for what it does is lacking. I would recommend caution and not take it.

Yes: Passionflower has been used since ancient times for anxiety and insomnia. Modern medical research has confirmed its safety and effectiveness. It may potentially interact with sedatives, blood thinners and MAO inhibitors but has no known interactions with blood pressure medicines.
