Can Milk Thistle Be Taken While On Apremilast And Otezla?
I wanted to try milk thistle. I do not take a statin for high cholesterol but I do take a red rice yeast. Should I stop taking the red rice yeast while I try the milk thistle? I also take apremilast, Otezla for psoriatic arthitis. Will this interfere with that?

Hi there,
Milk thistle shouldn't interfere with any of the medications you are taking. I'm not sure what the health benefit will be, but there shouldn't be any problem with your current medications.
I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or if you feel I haven't adequately answered your question.
