Overview
•Berberine HCl at 500 mg is generally well-tolerated but GI side effects like nausea, diarrhea, or constipation are common, especially at higher daily intakes.
•Known to inhibit CYP3A4 and P-gp, leading to major interactions with drugs like cyclosporine, metformin, and certain statins.
•Low systemic bioavailability (<1%) due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism; may require divided dosing with meals.
•Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential uterine stimulant effects and limited safety data.
•May lower blood glucose or blood pressure excessively when combined with antidiabetic or antihypertensive medications.
