Hi Dear ,
As per your query you are taking turmeric along with other medication and wondering about side effects and drug interaction of turmeric . Turmeric is very beneficial for health .Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn , stomach pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders.
Well turmeric usually does not cause significant side effects, however, some people can experience stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, or diarrhea . But high dose and very long duration can have some adverse effects . I would suggest you to consult Ayurvedic doctor ans your doctor who prescribe you above medicine before taking turmeric .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
