Devil's claw
Devil's claw — ce que la monographie européenne soutient réellement, ce à quoi ce n’est pas destiné, la forme et la durée prévue, les effets indésirables, et le 3 interaction médicamenteuses documentée.
Ceci est une page de référence, pas un diagnostic ni une ordonnance. Les produits à base de plantes sont de la vraie pharmacologie : effets, effets indésirables et interactions. Dites à votre médecin et à votre pharmacien tout ce que vous prenez, thés et compléments compris, et n’arrêtez ni ne changez jamais un médicament prescrit à cause de ce que vous lisez ici.
Ce que c’est
Harpagophytum procumbens DC. ex Meisn. — secondary root tuber (Harpagophyti radix)
Groupé ici sous Joints, urinary tract and hormones. Position réglementaire :Monographie végétale UE — usage traditionnel.
Ce que les preuves soutiennent
L’indication enregistrée :Relief of minor joint pain, and of mild digestive complaints such as bloating and loss of appetite.
A southern African plant whose secondary root tubers are dug for the European joint-pain market. The registered indication is deliberately modest — minor joint pain — and that modesty is doing real work: trials of standardised extracts in low back pain and osteoarthritis exist, but they are mostly small, short and of moderate quality, and systematic reviewers have generally called the evidence promising but insufficient. The clinical detail that separates it from the rest of the joint-supplement shelf is its contraindication in peptic ulcer disease: devil's claw increases gastric acid secretion, so monograph texts contraindicate it with active stomach or duodenal ulcers. It is also wild-harvested, and pressure on wild populations in Namibia, Botswana and South Africa has been a long-running concern.
C — Traditional use only Plausible from thirty or more years of use, which is what a traditional-use registration means. No clinical evidence was required and none has settled it.
Ce à quoi ce n’est pas destiné
Inflammatory arthritis, a hot swollen joint, joint pain with fever, or back pain with leg weakness, numbness in the saddle area or loss of bladder control — the last of those is an emergency.
Forme, force et durée
Dried secondary tuber as tea, and standardised dry extracts in tablets, usually standardised to harpagoside content.
Durée.Traditional-use texts direct people to seek advice if joint pain persists beyond a few weeks of use.
Aucun chiffre en grammes n’apparaît sur cette page exprès. La partie de plante, le solvant d’extraction et le rapport drogue-extrait définissent ensemble une préparation, et un nombre pris à l’une ne décrit pas l’autre. Le raisonnement est exposé sur le hub ; la quantité qui s’applique à vous est celle imprimée sur le paquet que vous tenez, et un pharmacien la lira avec vous.
Effets indésirables
Digestive upset and diarrhoea are the common ones, alongside headache and dizziness. Allergic reactions occur.
Qui devrait l’éviter
Contraindicated with active stomach or duodenal ulcer. Caution with gallstones. Not in pregnancy; adults only.
Interactions avec les médicaments
| Médicament ou substance | Ce qui est décrit |
|---|---|
| Anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) | It is often taken to reduce the need for anti-inflammatory painkillers, and the two share a gastric-irritation profile — which is exactly the combination the ulcer contraindication is about. |
| Anticoagulants and antiplatelets (warfarin, DOACs, aspirin, clopidogrel) | Case reports of altered warfarin control exist. With any anticoagulant, tell the prescriber before starting. |
| Diabetes medicines and insulin | Blood-glucose lowering has been reported; monitor if you take glucose-lowering medicines. |
