Echinacea may also be unsafe for those taking certain medications. Some examples are some medicines for heart problems - such as amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone) - and some anti-fungal medicines. The combination of echinacea with these drugs can cause liver damage.
Some experts argue that no one should take echinacea for more than two months a year. Although there is no evidence that the herb could cause harm after this point, doctors do not yet know enough about its long-term safety.
