If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use uva ursi without first talking to your healthcare provider.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and
Corticosteroids
Based upon animal studies conducted in Japan, uva
ursi may increase the anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroid medications
(such as prednisolone and dexamethasone) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs; commonly used for pain and inflammation, including ibuprofen and
indomethacin). Additional studies are needed to confirm whether uva ursi could
increase the effects of these medications in people.
