    Hello Colette. I can't see why not but sometimes it's best just to ask your pharmacist. I've checked on a drug website and that doesn't mention turmeric as one of the herbs/vitamins to avoid. It's St Johns Wort that is the one to worry about. Hope that helps.

    Hi

    I dont see why not either but we aren't doctors so I would check with your pharmicist......and make sure to tell her all the meds you take whether they are prescribed or over the counter ones

    Love

    Very sensible advice eileen 93447. You just have to be so careful these days. There are so many different vitamin and minerals on the market it's difficult to know what you should or should not be taking.

      Hi

      Lots of people think because it sasy "natural" on it it doesnt have side effects. There are a few things that are contraindicated with my epilepsy meds.....I've been clear for 33 years and dont want to lose my driving licence etc so I have to be very careful

      Love
