4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Only limited data on pharmacological interactions with other medicinal products are available. Additive effects with hypnotics and other sedative drugs cannot be excluded and therefore co-medication is not recommended as a general precaution.
The effect of Valerian may be potentiated by alcohol. Excessive concomitant consumption of alcohol should therefore be avoided.
