<meta name="description" content="Butterbur is a popular herbal preparation that is used to treat migraine headaches, allergic rhinitis and respiratory illnesses. Butterbur is an extract of the roots of the butterbur bush and the extract has to be processed carefully to eliminate harmful pyrrolizidine alkaloids that occur naturally in the plant. Butterbur preparations processed to remove pyrrolizidine alkaloids do not appear to cause liver injury, either in the form of serum enzyme elevations during treatment or clinically apparent acute liver injury. However, recent cases of clinically apparent liver injury have been reported with use of several commercial preparations of butterbur, suspected to be due to residual pyrrolizidine alkaloid contamination.">

id="Butterbur.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Butterbur is a popular herbal preparation that is used to treat migraine headaches, allergic rhinitis and respiratory illnesses. Butterbur is an extract of the roots of the butterbur bush and the extract has to be processed carefully to eliminate harmful pyrrolizidine alkaloids that occur naturally in the plant. Butterbur preparations processed to remove pyrrolizidine alkaloids do not appear to cause liver injury, either in the form of serum enzyme elevations during treatment or clinically apparent acute liver injury. However, recent cases of clinically apparent liver injury have been reported with use of several commercial preparations of butterbur, suspected to be due to residual pyrrolizidine alkaloid contamination.</p></div><div id="Butterbur.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Butterbur is a popular herbal product derived from the rhizomes and stems of the perennial butterbur bush (Petasites hybridus), a plant native to Europe. Butterbur is so named because its large leaves were used to wrap butter for storage. Butterbur extracts have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and purported uses were for plague, asthma, gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses and cancer. Chemical components of butterbur extracts include sesquiterpene alcohol esters (petasitine, neopetasitine and isopetasitine), volatile oils, flavonoids and tannins. Extracts from butterbur leaves and stems can contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (senecionine, integerrimine), which are toxic molecules capable of causing sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in animals as well as humans. Butterbur herbal products for oral use must be specially processed to remove any traces of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Some evidence suggests that butterbur is effective in the treatment of migraine headaches and allergic rhinitis, but its long term efficacy and safety have not been established, and it is not specifically approved for these uses in the United States. Butterbur is available in a variety of formulations and the typical oral dosage is 100 to 150 mg per day in 2 to 3 divided doses. Side effects of butterbur are uncommon and mild, and include gastrointestinal upset, eructation, nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, increased bleeding tendency and rash. In clinical trials, both serious and common side effects were often no more frequent with butterbur than placebo.</p></div><div id="Butterbur.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Despite widespread use, butterbur extracts that are free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids have not been specifically linked to liver injury, either in the form of transient serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent acute liver injury. However, because the processing of butterbur is critical to the safety of the herbal product, it has to be used with caution. After the European approval of a commercial butterbur product for use in migraine headache prevention, isolated reports of cholestatic hepatitis arose. Testing suggested that some preparations contained detectable amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and some of the products were withdrawn. The relationship of the liver injury to butterbur remains controversial. A single publication summarizing clinical features of 10 cases reported to the sponsor has suggested that the liver injury was not related to the butterbur product, but 8 of the 10 cases were reasonably convincing and described a consistent clinical phenotype of fatigue, nausea and jaundice usually arising within 2 to 12 weeks of starting the product and marked by a hepatocellular pattern of injury and moderate-to-severe jaundice. Two cases resulted in urgent liver transplants, while the others apparently recovered, usually within 2 to 12 weeks. The clinical features of cases did not resemble sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and liver biopsy showed an acute hepatitis with variable degrees of cholestasis, but minimal steatosis or fibrosis and no mention of sinusoidal obstruction. Similar cases have not been described from other butterbur products.</p><p>Likelihood score: C (probable cause of clinically apparent liver injury, possibly caused by contaminants).</p></div><div id="Butterbur.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which some preparations of butterbur might cause liver injury is not known but is likely due to a contaminant or mislabeling of the product. Butterbur-drug interactions have not been defined. While pyrrolizidine alkaloids are mentioned as the possible cause of liver injury associated with butterbur use, the clinical features of cases occurring during treatment suggested idiosyncratic liver injury rather than direct sinusoidal cell damage.</p></div><div id="Butterbur.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Patients on butterbur who develop unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain or dark urine should have routine liver tests drawn and discontinue the use of the herb if there are any abnormalities.</p><p>Other Names: Petasites Extract, Purple Butterbur</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/HerbalDietarySuppl/?report=reader">Herbal and Dietary Supplements</a></p></div></div><div id="Butterbur.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Butterbur_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Butterbur.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
