If you are allergic to silymarin or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Silarine.

Treatment with dry extract of milk thistle fruit does not replace abstinence from the causes of liver damage (e.g., alcohol).

In case of jaundice (yellowish discoloration of the skin, yellowish discoloration of the whites of the eyes), you should consult your doctor.

The use of this medication for long periods of time should be monitored by a doctor.

Cautions should be taken in patients with known sensitivity to plants of the Asteraceae/Compositae family (such as chrysanthemum, daisy, calendula, or ragweed).

Children

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication. In particular, inform them if you are taking:

  • Metronidazole or losartan; special precautions may be required.
  • Domperidone: its use with Silarine is not recommended.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and Using Machines

According to experience with Silarine, it is unlikely that your ability to drive vehicles or operate hazardous machinery will be impaired. However, at the start of treatment, be cautious when performing these tasks until you know how you tolerate the treatment.
