Sometimes a pharmacist will know more about such things than your doctor because he does not have the same reference book. Cyclopsorin is one drug that you should always check for interactions for anything not prescribed by your doctor to take with it. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2000 Report Share Posted February 15, 2000 Liz, My doctor told me to stay away from St. 's Wort because of my immune system not being as it should. Actually it is suppressed from the other auto dx's I have. Can you take it?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 Nancie, I am not personally a great believer in " natural " remedies. We don't know their side effects. The prescription meds may have horrible effects but we know more or less what they are, so we can make a more balanced judgement. I have never tried it, I stick to a multivitamin and calcium as supplements.
