What are the absolute contraindications to taking CM4?
Because of the stimulant property of CM4 on alertness and metabolism, untreated, uncontrolled hypertension is a contraindication. If one has treated and controlled blood pressure problems, one should start CM4 with 1/2 dropperful (1/2 ml) twice daily and monitor the blood pressure over the initial week. With no significant rise above the previous “controlled” level of pressure, CM4 can then be increased to the full dropperful (1ml) twice daily, while still monitoring the blood pressure response. It is recommended that both doses be taken by at least 2 PM daily as this same stimulant property may cause insomnia or nighttime restlessness. Since the active ingredients are stabilized in alcohol, persons with sensitivity to even small medicinal quantities of alcohol can heat CM4 slightly to evaporate the alcohol off. Most children and adults will have absolutely no problems taking the medication in fully prescribed dosage, adjusted for age (s ee recommended dosage schedule).
