Based on a systemic review of scientific literature edited and peerreviewed by contributors to the Natural Standard Research Collaboration.
Extracts of Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John’s wort) have been recommended traditionally for a wide range of medical conditions. The most common modern-day use of St. John’s wort is for depression. Studies have shown St. John’s wort may be equally effective as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants for mild to moderate depression.
Overall, the evidence suggests St. John’s wort may be effective for mild-to-moderate depression. The evidence for severe depression remains unclear.
St. John’s wort may cause serious interactions with prescription drugs, herbs or supplements. Therefore, people using any medications should consult their health care providers, including a pharmacist, prior to starting therapy.

Interactions
Interactions with Drugs St. John’s wort may interfere with the way the body processes various drugs using the liver’s “cytochrome P450” enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be increased in the blood (causing increased effects or adverse reactions) or decreased in the blood (which may reduce effects). Examples of medications that may be affected by St. John’s wort in this manner include carbamazepine, cyclosporin, irinotecan, midazolam, nifedipine, simvastatin, theophylline, warfarin, or HIV drugs such as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) or protease inhibitors (PIs). The FDA suggests that patients with HIV/AIDS taking Pis or NNRTIs should avoid taking St. John’s wort.
St. John’s wort may alter the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants (“blood thinners”) such as warfarin (Coumadin) or heparin, anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve).
St. John’s wort may alter blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using medications that may also alter blood sugar. People taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified health care professional, including a pharmacist. Medication adjustments may be necessary.

Interactions with Herbs & Dietary Supplements
St. John’s wort may interfere with the way the body processes herbs and supplements using the liver’s “cytochrome P450” enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these herbs and supplements may be increased in the blood (causing increased effects or potentially serious adverse reactions) or decreased in the blood (which may reduce the intended effects).
St. John’s wort may alter the risk of bleeding when taken with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Multiple cases of bleeding have been reported with the use of Ginkgo biloba, and fewer cases with garlic and saw palmetto.
St. John’s wort may alter blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using herbs or supplements that may also alter blood sugar. Blood glucose levels may require monitoring, and doses may need adjustment.
