QUESTION:

Hi Dr. Richardson, Thank you very much for the valuable information about CAM on your site. I have just been diagnosed with early glaucoma and am planning to use the CAM therapies. You listed many herbal products and their interactions with other drugs etc. What about their interaction with each other? Can a person use all of them at the same time?

ANSWER:

As not much is known about how supplements interact with each other, I generally recommend taking a step-wise approach to supplement therapy, adding only one supplement at a time. My general approach is listed here:
