Psoralen can be phototoxic. Applications for leukoderma may sometimes cause dermatosis. PUVA
(Psoralen + UltraViolet A) treatment for psoriasis increases the incidence of skin cancers. The high levels
of genistein and daidzein should possibly be contraindicated in patients with ER2-(+)-breast cancer.BLACK HAW (Viburnum prunifolium L.) +Activities (Black Haw) — Antiabortive (f; FEL); Anticonvulsive (f; DEM); Antidiarrheic (1; APA;

Dosages (Black Haw) — 2 tsp dry bark/cup water (APA); 2–5 g powdered bark (HH3); 1–2 g
powdered bark (PNC); 2–8 ml bark elixir (PNC); 4–8 ml liquid bark extract (PNC); up to 2 tsp
tincture 3 ×/day (APA).
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Black Haw) — Class 2d. Patients with kidney
stone should use only with caution because of oxalates (AHP). “Hazards and/or side effects not known
for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2) (but PH2 designates no specific quantified dosage! JAD). HH3
notes a CNS-Depressant result of overdose. In animals it takes some 5–7 g scu to cause cardiac arrest
(HH3). Salicin has many of the same activities as salicylates. According to WOI, salicin may impart
the marked sedative action to the bark, reportedly polymerizing to form an alcohol soluble sedative
that is even more relaxant (WOI). Scopoletin, with uterosedative activity, probably works by blocking
