Dear : nikolaos
why you want to take herbal medicines. These medicine dont have any documents showing any results and dont know what exactly they contain and how much contain. Whether they are really beneficial or no we dont know. These are just placebo therapy.

My suggestion to you is better avoid combining herbal medicine with your regular medications
