Do any of those supplements (olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, or primrose oil) have any interaction with ABX?

Specifically:

Minocycline
Azithroymicin
Bactrim
Rifampin
Flagyl

?

Olive leaf extract doesn't interact with antibitoics; it can actually be helpful, from my experience. I think it helps get rid of the toxins via its antioxidant properties.

Oregano oil should NOT be taken in essential oil form; it's not safe. Capsule form, diluted into olive oil, is the only form I'd recommend, and I'd be careful because the interactions and its long term effects are unknown. I've seen some sites recommend an iron supplement while on long term use, because oregano can interfere with iron's absorption. I'm not sure if that's true, but I still had my iron checked while on oregano oil. It was normal (though lower than my last test), but I was starting to bruise a lot more for some reason. I stopped taking oregano oil consistently, and I have not bruised as much since. Coincidence or not, it's anyone's guess, but I still wouldn't recommend it for consistent use.

No idea about the primrose.

Thanks!

To clarify, I bought all these herbs as supplements from a local vitamin shop. The Oil of Oregano is diluted with Olive Oil.

Primrose is suggested to help with thyroid regulating, and hopefully help with my hair loss. [Smile]
