Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Drug/herb interactions have always been an area of worry for me and I have had many similar questions in the past. I do not have experience using herbs in similar cases b/c I have decided to not take the risk. One teacher who I respect recommended that we not use herbs that directly contradict the action of meds in place and that makes good sense to me. If you are thinking about treating Blood stag with moving herbs and the Iressa is aimed at doing the opposite it seems like a big problem.
