Hi, thank you for contacted us.
Regarding your question, i cannot give you a total permission to take those supplements with your current drugs because i do not know your real medical situation. You may speak to your doctor to have a proper guidance.
But, for your information, supplements are not the true drugs that can help you with the diseases. You may take supplements, but the prescribed drugs must be taken too regularly.
If you insist to take the supplements, do control few symptoms that might be sign of drug interaction such as:
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Irregular bowel movement
- Loss of consciousness
- Fatigue
- Drowsiness

Do refer to emergency or any health facilities if you encounter those symptoms. I hope and suggested you to meet and discuss with your Doctor first before taking the supplements. You also can contact us at (DoctorOnCall) to speak with our Doctors in a private conversation to know more about your condition.
