HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There is a suggestion that the tumeric may possibly affect the blood sugar and cause it to dip lower than normal.
It also should not be used with any medication that can increase the risk of bleeding such as aspirin, naproxen, xarelto, ibuprofen, warfarin, cataflam, voltaren etc.
This is because, there is a further increase in bleeding risk.
It would be best to discuss the use of this medication with your doctor
I hope this helps
