A member asked:

Why do they say not to use milk thistle with antipsychotic medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Risk: There is risk for drug-drug interaction as milk thistle is metabolized in the liver and so are few antipsychotics. Always remember to mention all OTC drugs and /or supplements to your prescriber.
