Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Phyto-Gen Meno-gen. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when consumed in the amounts commonly found in foods.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when lingonberry concentrate is used orally and appropriately. A beverage containing cranberry concentrate 7.5 grams and lingonberry concentrate 1.7 grams in 50 mL water has been used with apparent safety for up to 6 months (8253).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when lingonberry leaf extracts are used orally, long-term. Lingonberry leaf contains a constituent that might be hepatotoxic (18). However, a high quality safety assessment of lingonberry leaf in humans has not been conducted. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lingonberry leaf extracts when used orally, short-term.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY UNSAFE
when used orally because some constituents have mutagenic effects, potentially harming the developing fetus (18); avoid using.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when lingonberry concentrate is used orally and appropriately.
A beverage containing cranberry concentrate 7.5 grams and lingonberry concentrate 1.7 grams in 50 mL water has been used with apparent safety for up to 6 months (46452).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when lingonberry leaf extracts are used orally, long-term.
Lingonberry leaf contains constituents that might be hepatotoxic (18).
LIKELY SAFE ...when the fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (13622).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when the fruit is used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts (6481,9796). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of red raspberry leaf when used orally or topically.
PREGNANCY: LIKELY SAFE
when the fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (13622).
PREGNANCY: POSSIBLY SAFE
when red raspberry leaf is used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts during late pregnancy under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
Red raspberry leaf is used by nurse midwives to facilitate delivery. There is some evidence that red raspberry leaf in doses of up to 2.4 grams daily, beginning at 32 weeks' gestation and continued until delivery, can be safely used for this purpose (6481,9796). Make sure patients do not use red raspberry leaf without the guidance of a healthcare professional.
PREGNANCY: LIKELY UNSAFE
when red raspberry leaf is used orally in medicinal amounts throughout pregnancy or for self-treatment.
Red raspberry leaf might have estrogenic effects (6180). These effects can adversely affect pregnancy. Tell pregnant patients not to use red raspberry leaf at any time during pregnancy without the close supervision of a healthcare provider.
LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when the fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (13622).
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of red raspberry leaf; avoid using.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Phyto-Gen Meno-gen. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, taking red raspberry leaf with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
Details
In vitro research suggests that red raspberry leaf extract has antiplatelet activity and enhances the in vitro effects of the antiplatelet medication cangrelor (96300). This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Red raspberry leaf might reduce glucose levels in patients being treated with insulin.
Details
In one case report, a 38-year-old patient with gestational diabetes, whose blood glucose was being controlled with medical nutrition therapy and insulin, developed hypoglycemia after consuming two servings of raspberry leaf tea daily for 3 days beginning at 32 weeks' gestation. The patient required an insulin dose reduction. The hypoglycemia was considered to be probably related to use of red raspberry leaf tea (96299).

General
...Orally, red raspberry fruit is well tolerated.
There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of red raspberry leaf.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and epigastric pain. However, these adverse effects do not commonly occur with typical doses.
Dermatologic ...A liquid containing red raspberry leaf cell culture extract 0. 0005%, vitamin C 20%, and vitamin E 1% (Antioxidant and Collagen Booster Serum, Max Biocare Pty Ltd.) has been reported to cause mild tingling and skin tightness (102355). It is unclear if these effects are due to red raspberry leaf, the other ingredients, or the combination.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, red raspberry may cause gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, and epigastric pain (112127).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...A case of occupational asthma due to the inhalation of red raspberry powder has been reported for a 35-year-old female. Symptoms included wheezing and shortness of breath (70370).
