> The popular press (e.g. Consumer Reports) are starting to report studies suggesting that St. John's Wort can interfere with the pharmacological effects of a number of prescription medications (e.g. birthcontrol pills). These publications do not list the medications of concern and give no references or descriptions of the kinetics/mechanisms involved. I've searched the net and reviewed several psycopharm journals without success. Who has this information?
James here....
As SJW is a drug too of course it interacts with other meds. There was a study mentioned on this list about SJW and other meds, published in The Lancet. The study had to do with AIDS meds, but really applies to non-AIDS persons too.
