Brief Answer:
There is no known interaction!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

There are no known interactions between these two drugs as of yet. However, cur cumin is not approved by the food and drug administration which means so much about it has not been researched. I generally do not recommend drugs not authorized for safety concerns to my clients. Why is she on cur curcumin?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
