Do you take these over-the-counter supplements? You should tell your GP, says Dr Amir Khan.
Posting on Instagram on Sunday (31 May), the popular television doctor warned that “natural doesn’t automatically mean harmless”, as he said magnesium, turmeric, St. John’s wort, collagen and herbal remedies all needed to be flagged to your doctor.
“If you’re taking regular medication, don’t forget to tell your doctor which supplements you also take because sometimes the interaction we’re worried about isn’t between two medications.
“It can be between medicine and something you thought was harmless, like a supplement.”
