The vitamins are usually safe in usual doses. Cumin seed oil is a spice concentrate which has antiinflammatory properties. There is limited data regarding drug interactions, so it may be best to avoid as a supplement. Please discuss with your physician.

Your supplements need to be discussed in detail with your doctor, as Dilantin and Phenobarbital have numerous drug-drug interaction potentials. You need to check blood levels and clarify the entire picture, especially in your case where you are taking potent immune medications.
