If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use eucalyptus without first talking to your healthcare provider.
5-Fluorouracil
In an animal study, topical eucalyptus oil
enhanced the absorption of topical 5-fluorouracil, a medication used to treat
cancer.
Others
Eucalyptus may increase the clearance of pentobarbital,
a barbiturate used for seizures, and amphetamine, a stimulant used for
narcolepsy and, sometimes, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. This means
that these medications may be eliminated from the body more quickly than they
are supposed to be. |
