I am looking for advice regarding Black Cohosh. Has anyone successfully taken this for Menopause? I am worried if I try it it may effect Levo.

I'm not sure if it's Black Cohosh or St John's Wart (I'm leaning towards the latter) but one of them can affect your liver negatively so look carefully for that information regarding the BC. In case.

Yes I think St John’s Wort - as due to its effect on P450 system and drug transport and excretion it can affect the way other drugs affect the liver
