St. John's Wort Extract Function
Each individual responds differently to prescription medications, herbs, foods and practically everything else. Regardless of any claims that a substance is safe and free of side effects, one should always approach it cautiously. When trying a new substance, get all the information you can, consult your physician if there are any doubts about safety, and start slowly with low dosages.
St. John's Wort has been known to increase photo-sensitivity in animals and may theoretically cause this same reaction in some humans. We recommend that strong sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet light (like "tanning booths") be avoided when taking St. John's Wort.
St. John's Wort should not be used by patients taking antidepressant drugs. Combining the two could potentize the affects of each. Other drug interactions have been reported. Read this statement from the National Institute of Mental Health:
