Hello Sheila, thank you for your message. Also thanks to Vivien for her reply which is correct, please before taking any supplement check with your GP first that you can take it along with your usual medications. Devil's Claw is a herb which might decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Some medications that are changed by the liver include Diclofenac (Cataflam, Voltaren), Ibuprofen (Motrin), Meloxicam (Mobic), and Piroxicam (Feldene); Celecoxib (Celebrex); Amitriptyline (Elavil); Warfarin (Coumadin); Glipizide (Glucotrol); Iosartan (Cozaar); and others. To be on the safe side, please speak to your GP about this. Thank you. Take care.
