Hi all. Hope everyone having a good day.

Does anyone know if it's ok to take evening primrose capsules with the hope of reducing the night time tropical moments! I take 20mg MTX weekly plus 5mg folic for 6 days and arcoxia 90mg(etoricoxib) and 75mg levothyroxine daily. I'm not sure if it's best to check these kind of supplements, but my sister has been taking them for menopause and she says they help. If anyone has tried them I'd be glad of your input. Thanks very much.

Hi, I take a daily 1000mg capsule of evening primrose oil for pmt. I'm on 15mg mtx weekly, folic acid 3x weekly and 175mcg levothyroxine daily. I hope this helps but your pharmacist could probably confirm for you're worried.

Thank you very much, I was pretty sure it would be fine, but to know someone with similar drugs seems ok, it's just put my mind at rest. Now to see if they help with the tropical nights! Thanks again

I hope they help you. They've really helped with my pmt and I no longer get the mood swings and sore boobs. Best of luck

Hi

Yeah it should be ok, I'm on Leflunomide and take 1000mg every night.

I started taking them because I thought I having menopause flushing, turned out it was my heart and heart tablets causing it but I still take them.

Thanks for that. I'm absolutely sure it's menopause for me, has been for the last eight years!! The night sweats stopped for a while, but hey ho, they've come back again. I will give the Evening Primrose a go, and hopefully they'll help.

Thanks for your time and trouble,

Trudi
