Supplements are not always harmless, especially when combined with prescription medicines. Some vitamins, herbs and supplements can change how medications work, potentially reducing their effectiveness or increasing side effects.
Vitamin K can interfere with the effect of warfarin, a commonly used blood thinner. People taking warfarin should keep their vitamin K intake consistent and discuss significant dietary or supplement changes with their healthcare professional.
St Johns wort can interact with many medicines, including certain antidepressants, birth control pills, transplant medicines and other prescription drugs. It can also increase the risk of serious side effects when combined with some medications that affect serotonin.
Healthy Tip:
Always tell your doctor and pharmacist about every supplement, vitamin, herbal product and medication you take. Do not stop prescribed medication or start a supplement without professional advice.
