Andrographis can cause side effects such as diarrhea, vomiting, rash, headache, runny nose, and fatigue. Side effects are more likely with higher doses. Andrographis might cause the immune system to become more active, and this could increase the symptoms of autoimmune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it's best to avoid using andrographis. It slows blood clotting and may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising for people with blood disorders. Because of this effect, it should NOT be taken before surgery. Always contact your physician before starting any herbal treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor educational purposes only.
