Allergic Reactions – Some people may be allergic to elderberries, leading to symptoms such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you have known berry allergies, consult a doctor before using elderberry products.\u003cbr\u003e4. Interactions with Medications – Elderberry may interact with certain medications, particularly immune-suppressing drugs, diuretics, and diabetes medications. If you are taking prescription medications, check with your healthcare provider before use.\u003cbr\u003e5.
