  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I'm afraid we can never say if it is completely safe for you to take this supplement. We always advise patients to be cautious when it comes to taking any supplements as they may cause more harm than good in some cases and could possible interact with other medications you may be taking.

    We would suggest you speak to your healthcare team about this. Pharmacists are usually the best people to advise about what is safe to take in terms of supplements alongside any other medication.

    We have some general information about vitamins, and diet supplements which you may find helpful.  

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
