Can I take peppermint oil capsules while taking methotrexate

[nomoreheels]

I used to, with the ok of my Rheumy. I found they became less effective though & although I smelled sweet I was continually burping! I find mint tea soothing, better in summer when I can make it myself from leaves in the garden. I was prescribed an antispasmodic which does help.

Have u ever tried dandelion root capsules as I wanted to try them aswell as there meant to be good for you're kidneys or liver. I take seven seas supplements as they have vit d vit c calcium and cod liver oil in them.

No, I don't take any supplements other than those recommended by or prescribed by my Rheumy. One is Adcal-D3 which is calcium & vitamin D as I have osteopenia/borderline osteoporosis (which that & diet which includes dairy is keeping level). I buy one, Omega 3 fish oil, preferred over cod liver oil for heart benefits apparently.
