Neurologist-recommended Petadolex? contains the patented extract of butterbur that supports healthy blood vessel tone in the brain, as well as normal blood flow in the brain.? Petadolex is standardized to contain 15% of butterbur's key ingredient, petasin. It's also guaranteed to be pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) free, so you can use it with confidence. PA's are toxic compounds that can harm the liver. Studies demonstrate patented Petadolex is safe and well tolerated.

Summary: Not All Butterbur is Created Equal
Comment: My wife's board-certified neurologist recommended Petadolex brand butterbur for her migraines. She has a bad reaction to sulfa drugs and other expensive drugs are not covered by our insurance. Butterbur is regulated as a pharmaceutical in other countries, but not the U.S. The most important thing about butterbur is that in its natural state, it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA's), which can cause liver cancer. Unlike some "natural" varieties of butterbur, PA's have been removed from Petadolex. Although it can be used at the onset of migraines, it is primarily used to prevent them and is not fully effective until used for up to two months. (We have not completed our full course of treatment yet, so I cannot speak to results in our specific case) If you find yourself turning to butterbur for migraines or other conditions, be smart and get a quality brand like Petadolex because not all butterbur is created equal.

Update #1: my wife now complains of a "grassy" taste from belching after taking butterbur. I apologize if you did not want to know that!

Update #2: Well over two months later, my wife is seeing gradual and subtle signs of improvement. The doctor is weaning her off of stronger pharmaceuticals to reduce interactions. There are a lot of moving parts at work here, but the butterbur appears to take the "edge" off enough that she can survive her "days off".
