POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used topically. Bergamot essential oil that is not free of furocoumarins or psoralens can act as a photosensitizer and can induce malignant changes (6,96370).
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when bergamot essential oil is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.

Bergamot essential oil can cause intestinal colic, convulsions, and death (12). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of bergamot extract when used orally.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: POSSIBLY UNSAFE

There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of bergamot when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts; avoid use.
LIKELY SAFE ...when consumed in amounts commonly found in foods (6,2076).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts. Indian gooseberry fruit extract has been used safely in doses of up to 1000 mg daily for up to 6 months, 1500 mg daily for up to 8 weeks, or 2000 mg daily for up to 4 weeks (92515,99238,99240,99241,102855,102857,105352,105354,105356).

Theoretically, taking bergamot with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Details
Animal research suggests that bergamot juice has hypoglycemic effects (34407).
|
Theoretically, topical bergamot essential oil might increase the risk of side effects when used along with photosensitizing drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Details
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg, as a single dose or for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg alone (92514). Until more is known, use caution when taking Indian gooseberry in combination with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with aspirin; however, research is conflicting.
Details
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with ecosprin 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus ecosprin 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with ecosprin 75 mg alone (92514).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product BergaCor Plus. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally or as aromatherapy, bergamot seems to be well tolerated when used short-term.
Topically, bergamot is possibly unsafe.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Topically: Blisters, erythema, photosensitivity, pigment spots, pustules, and skin lesions.
Dermatologic
...Frequent contact with the peel or oil of bergamot can cause erythema, blisters, pustules, dermatoses leading to scab formation, and pigment spots (18).
Topically, photosensitivity can also occur, especially in fair-skinned people (11019).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, bergamot extract has been associated with one case of heartburn in clinical research (96356).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, muscle cramps have been reported for a patient starting one week after switching from drinking 4 liters of black tea to drinking 4 liters of Earl Grey tea daily. The muscle cramps were attributed bergapten, a constituent of bergamot essential oil in Earl Grey tea. The patient's symptoms subsided after discontinuing Earl Grey tea intake and remained absent upon re-initiation of Earl Grey tea intake 1 liter daily (34344).
General ...Orally, Indian gooseberry seems to be well tolerated.
Dermatologic ...Orally, itching has been reported by one individual in a clinical trial (105354).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, epigastric discomfort or dyspepsia have been reported by up to four individuals in clinical trials (105354,105356).
Hepatic ...In clinical research, increased serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) levels, with otherwise normal liver function, occurred in patients taking Ayurvedic formulations containing ginger, Tinospora cordifolia, and Indian gooseberry, with or without Boswellia serrata. The SGPT levels normalized after discontinuing the treatments (89557). It is unclear if these hepatic effects were due to Indian gooseberry or other ingredients contained in the formulations.
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, musculoskeletal pain has been reported by three individuals in a clinical trial (105354).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, fatigue has been reported by one individual in a clinical trial (105354).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, breathlessness has been reported by one individual in a clinical trial (105354).
