Approves the use of black cohosh to treat climacteric menopause symptoms,<br />
dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual symptoms. Although there is a possible<br />
side effect of gastric discomfort, there are no known contraindications or<br />
drug interactions. Dosage is suggested at 40 mg of crude drug. Because of<br />
the lack of long-term research, it is suggested that use be stopped after 6<br />
months.<br />
