Brief Answer:
No recorded interactions

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, Blood builder supplements consist of iron, folate, vitamin C and vitamin b12.
None of these supplements interact with your medications , so it will be safe to take it. however, it is adviced to take medications 3 hours apart.
Blood builder contains iron, and can cause constipation.
To avoid constiaption you should drink plenty of fluids (at least 8 cups daily) and increase your fiber content if you diet ( green vegetables and bran) .
If you are constipating , then you should take lactulose syrup 3 times daily.
I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
