Warnings and Precautions

For practitioner dispensing and professionally guided use. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Lavender may cause drowsiness in some people. Consult your doctor, pharmacist or healthcare practitioner before combining Lavender with sleeping tablets, benzodiazepines, sedating antihistamines, opioid medicines, anticonvulsants, alcohol or other products that may cause drowsiness.

Do not drive, operate machinery or perform hazardous work if you feel sleepy, dizzy or less alert.

Possible oral side effects may include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, burping, constipation or changes in appetite. Stop use and seek professional advice if symptoms are persistent or significant.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only when specifically directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner, as reliable safety information for medicinal oral Lavender preparations in these circumstances is limited.

Persistent anxiety, ongoing sleep disturbance or recurring abdominal symptoms should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional rather than repeatedly self-managed with Lavender.
