ATTENTION

Risks. Avoid olive leaves if you’re allergic or hypersensitive to olives, olive leaves, or related plants. Use with caution if you’re taking antiviral medicine. And avoid olive leaf if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, as little is known about its safety in these cases.

Interactions. Due to olive oil’s ability to lower blood sugar and blood pressure levels, caution may be needed for people taking drugs for those conditions.
