A member asked:

Good afternoon. i would like to know, my husband is on chronic blood pressure and cholesterol medication. i did some research and would like to know whether he can drink folic acid, iron and primrose oil with his chronic medication? kind regards!

Yes: It should be safe to use. However every person is different and have different responses to treatments, including allergies. I would recommend to use the product carefully, measuring the blood pressure constantly, and looking for signs of an allergic reaction like a rash or throat itching. have a great day.
