There has been a lot written on here about interactions with mepron.

I know about CoQ10 (although my LLMD didn't tell me I read it here and in Dr. S's book)

I have read about Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Is this the same as Alpha Linolenic Acid that is in my fish oil that my LLMD wanted me to buy (the specific brand)?

I also read Vitamin E interacts which is in both my multi vitamin and my fish oils.

I also heard milk thistle but it seems the jury is still out on that?

It's so frustrating! Especially since I've spent a lot of money on all these supplements! My LLMD hasn't said anything though!

I too have had not much information on the MEPRON interactions with other meds or supplements and it is frustrating. Any more info would be apprecaited.

I've read that taking doxycycline at the same time as the mepron regimen can diminish the effects or serum level of mepron.

rifampin can decrease the concentration of mepron in the blood, so shouldn't be taken together.
