Antipsychotic medicines: It is possible that agnus castus may interfere with the action of dopamine antagonists due to its dopinergic effects. Some of the antipsychotic drugs include: chlorpromazine, clozapine, fluphenazine, haloperidol, olanzapine, perphenazine, prochlorperazine, quetiapine, risperidone, thioridazinel and thiothixene. Contraceptive medicines: Could interfere in the effectiveness of contraceptive drugs due to its hormone modulating activity, use with caution. Estrogens: Could interfere in the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy as Hormone Balance Natural HRT has its own hormone modulating activity. Cisplatin: Preliminary evidence suggests the black cohash might decrease the effectiveness of cisplatin. Cytochrome P450: Hormone Balance Natural HRT may modestly inhibit P450 2D6, 2C9 and 1A2. Medicines metabolised by P450 2D6, 2C9 and 1A2 include amitriptyline, codeine, desipramine, flecainide, haloperidol, imipramine, metoprolol, ondansetron, paroxetine, risperidone, tramadol, venlafaxine, clozapine, cyclobenzaprine, fluvoxamine, haloperidol, imipramine, mexiletine, olanzapine, pentazocine, propranolol, tacrine, theophylline, zileuton, zolmitriptan, amitriptyline, diazepam, estradiol, tacrine, verapamil, warfarin, zileuton and others.

Taking black cohosh with hepatotoxic medicines may increase the risk of liver damage. Immunosuppressants: Concurrent use of ipraplavone and immunosuppressant medicines may have additive effects on inhibiting the immune system.
