Dear Madam ,

Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX

Well looking into the history that you are suffering from neurosarcoidosis for which you have been prescribed steroids and anti epileptic medication for seizures .

The drugs you are mentioning follow the allopathic system of medicine and the supplements you are willing to take belong to ayurvedic system of medicine . There are no scientific trials to look for their interaction but possibly they should be avoided in my opinion .

But if your treating doctor feels these are safe along with your present medications you can take them because he remains the best judge of your condition.

Wish you good health.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
