Las dosis medicinales están tan próximas a las tóxicas que resulta muy peligrosa su preparación en forma casera; 10 gramos de una hoja puede causar la muer- te a una persona adulta. Además, algunas personas pueden presentar intolerancia a alguno de sus principios activos, con la agravante de que éstos se acumulan en el organismo y son difíciles de eliminar por él.
