Safety notes
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using GlycoZen if:
- You take diabetes medicine such as metformin, insulin, a sulfonylurea or a GLP-1 drug. Berberine, Gymnema, chromium and cinnamon may all lower blood sugar, raising the risk of hypoglycemia. Ask your doctor and monitor your glucose.
- You take other prescription medicines. Berberine affects how the liver processes many drugs, including cyclosporine, some blood thinners, sedatives and blood pressure medicines.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding. Berberine is considered unsafe in pregnancy and for newborns.
- You have liver disease; cinnamon (especially cassia) contains coumarin, which can affect the liver.
- You have a stomach or bowel condition; berberine often causes cramps, constipation or diarrhea.
- You are under 18.
Low blood sugar signs: shakiness, sweating, fast heartbeat, hunger, dizziness or confusion. Follow your doctor's plan and stop GlycoZen until you have spoken to them.
