Re: Herceptin and Supplements
Hi All
I wonder whether I can post this in this thread or start another.
I was giving Hema "Mature Multi" supplement by Kirkland.Hema asked the onc on our last visit on Nov 30 about reducing the side effects of Xeloda Tykerb.After some discussion he advised to swith over to some other supplement which does not contain Folic acid or a leser percentage as it aggravates the side effects."Mature Multi" has 12% of Folic acid as per their own description of the contents
I will be happy to hear from you all on this.
