General
...There is currently a limited amount of information available on the adverse effects of skullcap.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Cognitive impairment, digestive disturbances, sedation.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, mild digestive disturbances were reported in around 9% of patients taking skullcap 350 mg three times daily for 2 weeks (91690).
Hepatic ...There are four reports of hepatotoxicity associated with products thought to contain skullcap. However, it is uncertain whether the products actually contained skullcap. It is thought that the products might have been contaminated with an adulterant such as germander (515), which is known to cause liver damage.
Neurologic/CNS ...A single skullcap extract dose of 100 mg does not seem to have adverse CNS effects. However, a higher dose of 200 mg might cause sedation and cognitive impairment (12216). One patient taking skullcap 350 mg three times daily for 2 weeks reported vivid dreams (91690). It is unclear if this event was associated with skullcap.
