Dr. Garcia,

Can you take the supplements if you are taking thyroid medication and high blood pressure meds. I take synthroid 0.075mg and Lisinopril 20mg, and taztia xt er 120 mg. I know I should ask my doc. but he is not real supportive.

thanks,

LTR

Hi LTR.

Please include your pharmacist as part of your team. Their computers contain lots of great information and can provide you with excellent feedback regarding medication and herbal interactions specific to your situation. Thanks.

PS: (I think you'll be fine with these, but again, check with your pharmacist if you're uncomfortable talking with your doc.)
