Possible Interactions with Dandelion

Overview

Avoid using dandelion if you are taking lithium. The diuretic properties of dandelion may lower sodium levels and cause your lithium levels to increase to a level that is toxic.

Likewise, dandelion could interact with other diuretics and alter the blood pressure-lowering effects of these medications. Consult your health care provider before using dandelion with diuretic medications.
