#Drug Combination / Interactions

Q I'm taking blood pressure and diabetes medication. Is it safe to take Korean Medicine tonics alongside them?

A Combined use is generally possible, but you must inform your practitioner of all medications you're currently taking.

Detailed Answer

Combining chronic disease medications such as blood pressure or diabetes drugs with Korean Medicine tonics is generally possible, though some adjustment to the herbal formula may be needed. For example, herbs that could affect blood sugar regulation or blood pressure are adjusted in dosage or composition once your medication history is understood.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

Bring a full list of the Western medications you're taking to your first visit, and your practitioner will review them directly to build a safe prescription. Key kidney-strengthening herbs like deer antler, cornus fruit, and cuscuta seed are generally known to have no major interactions with common chronic disease medications, but since individual variation exists, we always go through a verification process.
