Olive Leaf Extract

I am taking TMZ/TMP for a UTI this is the 2nd prescription in a month and 1/2. I had this infection for about a year and did not realize it, since I am getting older; I assumed symptoms of discharge/odor was a cleanliness problem and I would clean with this and clean with that. So I let it go way too long. My question, is would it be safe to take Olive leaf extract or Oregano Oil to help clear up this problem or wait until I take the entire prescription of antibiotic ## In this matter, I can only suggest that you check with your doctor. Herbal products are not tested for interactions with medications, so we have no information on whether or not they may cause problems. Does anyone else have information on this?

It really depends, if it's the only thing that's keeping your blood pressure down, then it wouldn't be safe to stop taking it. There is no cure, per se, for high blood pressure, it can only be controlled, though some people do so with diet and exercise. But it is a condition you have to keep under control for life.

This medication is a beta blocker and its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension. ## Can levatol be taken with olive leaf extract ,if they are taken a few hou...
