Mild to Moderate: Depressions are described as significantly relieved with the use of st. John's wort. This herbal does interact with some foods but there is no report of problems with the antiviral medication you mention. You should not have a problem, but read about possible items to avoid if you take sjw. http://www.drugs.com/cdi/st-john-s-wort.html best!
