Don't Mix Meds: When it comes to hypertension it is best to do in depth research on the potential interaction of supplements (vitamins, nutraceuticals, pre/probiotics) before taking them while on medication to control your pressure. This will prevent any problematic interactions with your current medications. Echinacea is generally safe when taken for viral illness prevention. It is not a treatment, however.
