Echinacea (& other vits) and drug interactions

[Guest guest]

Hi Anna and eveyoe,

 

I don't know if this has been posted before, but there is a GREAT web site

that lists drugs (prescription and OTC, I believe) as well as vitamins and

their interactions with other drugs, how they should be taken, their peak

and low times, etc.

 

Go here: http://www.rxlist.com

Good luck!

 

 

All my best,

 

Lora
