any bad experiences with mukta vati? worried about side effects - #2234

Anonymous

My blood pressure has been creeping up over the last year, and I really don’t want to start on prescription meds yet because of all the side effects I’ve heard about. A friend suggested Mukta Vati since it’s natural and supposed to help with hypertension. I’ve started taking it twice a day, but now I’m feeling a bit lightheaded sometimes and super sleepy during the day—like I can’t keep my eyes open, even at work. Is this normal when you first start Mukta Vati? Are these side effects going to go away on their own, or should I stop taking it? I’ve also read conflicting things online about its effect on liver health. Would love to know if anyone else has had these problems.

Mukta Vati, an Ayurvedic remedy for hypertension, can cause side effects like lightheadedness and drowsiness, likely due to its blood pressure-lowering and sedative herbs (e.g., Brahmi, Ashwagandha). These symptoms may indicate that your blood pressure is dropping too low.

Recommendations:
Monitor your blood pressure regularly.
Consider reducing the dosage or taking it at night.
Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, especially to avoid potential interactions or complications.
While there are no strong links to liver issues, it’s wise to use Mukta Vati under supervision, particularly if you have liver concerns or other medical conditions.
