If a person is under medication for hypertension or is taking blood thinners, using the stinging plant may affect the clotting ability of the blood and potentially lower your BP, respectively enhancing and reducing the potency of the medicines. The herbal medicine may also intensify the effects of diuretics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, and drugs for blood disorders.
