What Are The Effects Of Milk Thistle On Diazepam?

does taking milk thistle as a supplement augment or decrease the effect of diazepam...in other words will the combination of the two increase or decrease the effectiveness of diazepam...I m hoping the second..since they are both metabolized by the same liver enzyme and I am weaning off of diazepam.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Taking both things together may delay the absorption of diazepam.
But once absorbed, there should not be any effect of milk in wearing that off.
It will be as good as water or any other liquid.
Hope this suggestion will help you.
Good Luck.
I find this answer helpful
