tea, 3 ×/day (CAN); 1–4 ml liquid bark extract (1:1 in 25% ethanol) 3 ×/day (CAN); 5 g drug
(PHR).Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Poplar) — Class 1 (AHP). Subject to
usual salicylates and tannin warnings (1997). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper
therapeutic dosages” (PH2). In view of the lack of toxicological data, excessive use, especially
during lactation and pregnancy, should be avoided. Individuals with aspirin or salicylate hyper-
sensitivity, asthma, diabetes, gout, hemophilia, hepatosis, hypothrombinemia, nephrosis, and
peptic ulcers should be cautious with salicylates. Alcohol, barbiturates, and oral sedatives may
potentiate salicylate toxicity. Beware of salicylate interaction with oral anticoagulants, meth-
otrexate, metoclopramide, phenytoin, pronebecid, spironolactone, and valproate. Salicylates
excreted in breast milk reportedly can cause macular rashes in breast-fed babies (CAN).
Salicylates and derivatives and flavonoids explain analgesic, antibacterial, antiinflammatory,
and antispasmodic activities. Zinc lignans may improve micturition in BPH (PH2). According
to MAD (if we can trust my translation, salicin raises uric acid excretion 25–41%, populin
11–29%; but the mix is a better uricosuric, raising excretion levels 38–71% (another good
example of synergy). Salipopulin, the mix, is a better analgesic in arthrosis and neuralgia than
the isolated glycosides (MAD).POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.) +Activities (Potato) — Alterative (f; CRC); Analgesic (1; TRA); Antibacterial (1; CRC); Antiseptic
