Coleus: The root extract of coleus is known as forskolin. Forskolin may improve cardiovascular function in patients with cardiomyopathy. However, additional study is needed to confirm these findings.

Coleus is generally regarded as safe, as very few reports have documented adverse effects. However, only a few short-term trials have assessed its safety in a small sample size of patients. Avoid if allergic to Coleus forskohlii or related species. Avoid with active bleeding. Use cautiously with a history of bleeding or hemostatic disorders, drug-related hemostatic problems, asthma, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or heart disease. Use cautiously if taking anticoagulant, anti-thrombotic, and/or antiplatelet medications. Stop taking coleus at least two weeks before and immediately after surgical, dental, or diagnostic procedures that have bleeding risks. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
