| Possible Interactions
with: Quercetin |
|
|
If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use quercetin supplements without first talking to your healthcare
provider.
Chemotherapy
Test tube and animal studies suggest that
quercetin may enhance the effects of doxorubicin and cisplatin, two chemotherapy
medications used to treat cancer. More research is needed to determine if
quercetin has any application to people being treated with either of these
agents. In addition, use of antioxidants at the same time as chemotherapy is
somewhat controversial. Therefore, more research is needed before conclusions
about safety and effectiveness can be drawn. |
