There are rare reports of liver injury associated with ashwagandha supplements. Ashwagandha may interact with certain medications, including benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and thyroid hormone drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Ashwagandha may increase testosterone levels and should be avoided in people with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It should not be used by pregnant women as it may increase the risk of miscarriage. Safety during breastfeeding is unknown.
