Indications (Approved Uses): Dietary supplementation universally indicated to support women's hormonal balance and relieve symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause, such as breast tenderness, mood swings, menstrual cramps, and hot flushes. It is also utilised to maintain healthy skin, assist in managing dermatological conditions like eczema and acne, and provide anti-inflammatory support to ease joint pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with mild arthritis.

Contraindications (Safety Warnings): Hypersensitivity to evening primrose oil or any excipients in the softgel. It is contraindicated or requires strict medical supervision in individuals taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (such as warfarin) due to a potential increase in the risk of bleeding. It should be used with extreme caution in patients with a history of epilepsy or seizure disorders, particularly those taking phenothiazines, as evening primrose oil may lower the seizure threshold. Pregnant and breastfeeding women must consult a physician prior to use.

Side Effects (Adverse Reactions): Generally well-tolerated at recommended doses. Potential mild adverse effects are primarily gastrointestinal, including nausea, indigestion, softening of stools, and mild abdominal pain. Rare side effects may include mild headaches or hypersensitivity reactions (such as skin rashes).
