It has been added to herbal weight-loss formulas as a replacement for epinephrine. Bitter orange should not be used with cocaine, codeine, or other narcotic pain relievers, since the combination can cause irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. It should be used with caution during pregnancy and in cases of low energy. It has been reported to have a contraceptive effect.
