Safety

Passionflower extract is classified as “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (Traub, n.d.). It is contraindicated with concurrent use of MAO inhibitors due to the presence of harman alkaloids and MOA inhibition leading to a potentiated effect, however, this has been refuted (Bergner, 2001). Passionflower can cause overexcitement and vomiting in children 4 years of age and under if given in large doses (Gagnon, 2000; Wood, 2009). Even small doses can cause emesis in some very susceptible individuals (Felter & Lloyd, 1898). There have been no recorded adverse effects to the human fetus caused by the use of passionflower by those who are pregnant (Mills & Bone, 2005), and according to the American Herbal Products Association (Gardner & McGuffin, 2013), passionflower is not contraindicated in pregnancy or lactation. However, use of passionflower during pregnancy is generally not suggested unless under the guidance of an advanced herbal clinician.
