Can Herbalife Be Taken While On Risperidone And Pristiq?
Hi, I’m Intan and age 27. I’m currently taking Risperidone 2 mg and Pristiq at night, before sleep. My concern is, can I take Herbalife as well? I take Herbalife in the morning, afternoon and evening. Is Herbalife a medicine that has negative effects if takeng in long term? In other case, my sister is taking Zyprexa. Her concern, can she take Slimfy as well. She take Slimfy in the Morning and afternoon before food. Below is the link to ingredient in Slimfy: http://slimfy.com/global/docs/slimfy_facts.pdf Thank you.
Case-1. It is not advisable to take herbalife while on risperidone and pristiq. Various herbs present in the formulation herbalife when taken along with risperidone and pristiq may cause harmful interactions such as drowsiness, confusion, and seizures. Herbalife is claimed to be safe however there is no scientific study done to prove their safety in the long run.
Case-2. There is no documented harmful interactions between slimfy and zyprex hence they may be taken together.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
