For long now, the symptoms of Menopause are very unpleasant for women and very often they get annoyed.  However there are plenty of remedies for the problem as of now. A widely used one is Remifemin. It is used by many Women because it is quite different from the normal pills and drugs that are available with medics. Remifemin is devoid of any chemical substances and is purely made out of Black Cohosh. It is in short an herbal supplement. Black Cohosh has been used in treating symptoms of menopause right from ancient times. Despite being a relief to many frustrating disorders like night sweats, mood swings, hot flashes etc there are doubts regarding the possible Remifemin Side Effects owing to the long prevailing concerns over its main ingredient, the Black Cohosh.

Clinical research and tests have been carried out in different parts of the globe and real scenario long term trials have been conducted to test the reliability of the product. The results offered were in the favor of the supplement as it was reported that regular usage of Remifemin does not lead to any hormonal imbalance or negative estrogen induced problems like vaginal effects. However the study threw light on several hidden Remifemin side effects. This was a blow to earlier tests which concluded that the active ingredient in Remifemin i.e. Black Cohosh was safe for prolonged use. According to this study, possible Remifemin Side Effects were associated with deadly liver diseases and the symptoms shown were mainly signs of jaundice, over fatigue, darker color of urine and confusion.

However scientists are yet to frame a clear link between these health problems and the product. It was also shown that Remifemin Side Effects were not limited to liver problems but also issues such as headaches, body weight fluctuations, feeling of heaviness in legs, abdominal discomfort, gastrointestinal disorders, swollen breasts, bloating, depression, anxiety, etc. But in many cases, these problems which started to arise as soon as the patient started taking the product began to disappear with the due course of the medication.

A majority of medical experts suggest that Remifemin Side Effects are likely to pose threats to pregnant women as well as mothers of new born babies who breastfeed their children. But there is no scientific proof as of now regarding the effect of black Cohosh extracts like Remifemin on fetus development. However some doctors claim that the herb has abortive characteristics which can damage the growing fetus. These doubts have however cast a serious stigma amongst people who now doubt that usage of Remifemin will result in preterm labor that is risky to both the mother and her baby.

On the other hand if your intention is to use Remifemin as a dietary supplement then beware of the fact that the US Food and Drug Organization has not yet labeled the use of the drug as safe and efficient, but on the contrary the agency has not issued any warnings either against the product. As a result you are left with only 1 option. Take the drug at your own discretion. The consequences if any must be faced by you alone. In such confusing situations people usually play safe by avoiding it. On a more welcome note, it is always wise to consult your local physician and ask him whether or not to take the drug.

Thus there are no proven high Remifemin Side Effects but there is always the possibility of a danger lurking in the dark and you will never know when tragedy strikes. So never underestimate warnings if any that are given by your doctors regarding Remifemin.
