Possible interactions between Remotiv tablets and other medicines

When St Johns wort is taken together with certain other drugs, the speed at which the other drugs in the body are broken down could possibly be increased. This may result in lower levels of the other drugs being present and/or could affect the action of the other drugs. Drugs definitely affected in this way are indinavir and cyclosporin. Other drugs that may be affected are warfarin, digoxin, theophylline,anticonvulsants, the oral contraceptive pill and psychotropic reuptake inhibitors. You should discuss this with your healthcare professional.
