St. John’s Wort for Depression: Does It Work or Is It Risky? (Pharmacist Reviews)
it’s time for medications I hate I haven’t done these in so long so be sure to follow and comment if you want me to do more of these today we’re actually going to do a supplement that I’ve been seeing trending a lot on.
Tik talk it’s St John’s W honestly if someone tells you to take this I think they really just don’t like you this natural supplement has an interaction with pretty much everything and in case you think I’m just being a hater of St John’s wart it’s even banned in France so what is it commonly used for so it is.
a natural supplement that’s commonly used to help with depression you want to preface if you’re taking this right now for depression do not stop this but I do want you to talk to doctor if you should really be taking this because look at all these lovely drug interactions that interact with St John’s wart.
it’s a lot the list keeps going on and on and on while there are several major drug interactions this is the most important one that I think should really be highlighted it will decrease the effectiveness of birth control this is.
why it’s so important whenever you’re starting a natural supplement to talk to your provider or pharmacist because with all natural supplements there do come drug interactions and I’m not saying that natural supplements are bad because most of them can really help people but before taking them you got to know all the safety precautions with it.
