Interactions
with Flaxseed | |
No clinically significant interactions between flaxseed and conventional
medications are known to have been reported in the literature to date, including
the German Commission E monograph (Blumenthal 1998). Although clinical relevance
is unknown, flaxseed may interfere with the absorption of certain medications;
therefore, ingestion of flaxseed several hours before or after other herbs or
medications may be warranted. Please see monograph on ALA for additional
information regarding that active ingredient. |
