Mahonia repens, commonly called Oregon grape, is a perennial shrub whose root bark and leaf extracts contain the alkaloid berberine. It is used traditionally as an anti‑inflammatory and antimicrobial remedy for coughs, sore throats, urinary tract infections, and skin conditions. Because berberine can delay gastric emptying and interact with drugs such as anticoagulants and antidiabetic medicines, the herb should be used under professional guidance, especially for people on prescription medications or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
