Background

Hyacinth bean (Lablab spp.) is found in tropical areas, where it is commonly used as a food crop. Hyacinth bean has also been used as a medicine, poison, or fertilizer, and for ornamental purposes.
Hyacinth bean has been shown to decrease the risk of bleeding and may have contraceptive, insecticide, nutrition enhancement, antioxidant, and antiviral effects, however, there is currently a lack of human trials in these areas. Further research is necessary before conclusions may be made regarding using hyacinth bean for any condition.

Safety

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects.

Interactions

Interactions with Drugs
Hyacinth bean may decrease the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin (Coumadin?) or heparin, antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix?), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin?, Advil?) or naproxen (Naprosyn?, Aleve?).
Hyacinth bean may also interact with agents that stimulate the immune system, anticancer agents, antifungals, antiretroviral agents, fertility agents, gastrointestinal agents, and proteinase inhibitors (antiviral agents).
