Is it safe to take herbs like giloy or ashwagandha with my blood pressure medications, Starpress XL 50 or Telma 40?

Asked by Male, 39 · 9 days ago

While both giloy and ashwagandha have wellness benefits, they can occasionally interact with your blood pressure medications, Starpress XL 50 (metoprolol) and Telma 40 (telmisartan). Ashwagandha, in particular, can naturally lower blood pressure. Taking it alongside your prescribed medications might cause your blood pressure to drop too low, leading to dizziness or fatigue. Giloy can also influence how your body processes medications. To keep you safe, please consult your doctor before starting these herbs, and monitor your blood pressure closely.
