Does anyone know whether it is safe to take Starflower oil supplements with tamoxifen? I was taking menopause vitamins but have been advised not to take them because they impair the tamoxifen effectiveness.

Hi Dancingmumliz,
A very warm welcome to our forum.
I have had two bouts of breast cancer and took Tamoxifen after my lumpectomy and Letrozole after my double mastectomy. That was 12 years ago. I was taking Evening Primrose Oil and some other suppliments, but was advised to stop them immediately for the same reason.
As a Homoeopathic practitioner, I was quite surprised at some of the things that I was told not to take. It is worth asking either your consultant or your breast care nurse for guidance.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are alays here for you.
Kind regards,

Thanks. I did ask my GP who advised me not to take anything without checking with the oncologist. I have an appointment coming up so I will ask - but I suspect the answer will be no.

Hi Dancingmumliz,
I am glad to hear that you have an appointment with your Oncologist soon. She should be the ideal person to ask.
Please let us know how you get on.
