Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) substrates) interacts with EUCALYPTUS

Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver.

Eucalyptus oil might decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Taking eucalyptus oil along with some medications that are broken down by the liver can increase the effects and side effects of some medications.

Hi Janet,

You have the right idea, eucalyptus wouldn't be my choice to get there though, check the link for inhibitors:

Thanks honey .. Now I have a headache ..!! Lol

Actually I was looking at it more for the point is came with spearmint, I'm having a hard time finding spearmint extract here in Canada. I was suspecting the eucalyptus added to the extract would actually help, rather than hinder.

I see, that's a problem. I don't know how beneficial it would be for NBE, meaning from my understanding of eucalyptus, is even if the amounts are diluted it should be limited for daily use. And if that's the case spearmint would also be limited, so unless I'm missing something (please let me know if I am) here I dunno. Are you using spearmint tea in the meantime?
