Why this happens
These mushrooms have 'additive' effects. This means they work in similar ways to lower glucose and inhibit blood platelets from sticking together. When combined, their individual effects are added together, making the overall impact on your body stronger.
What you should do
If you choose to take both, monitor your blood sugar levels closely, especially if you have diabetes. Watch for signs of low blood sugar, such as feeling shaky, sweaty, or dizzy. You should also be careful if you are taking blood-thinning medications or have an upcoming surgery. It is best to discuss the use of multiple medicinal mushrooms with your doctor or a pharmacist.

Can I take Hydroxychloroquine and Sildenafil together?
Taking these two medicines together may increase the risk of developing an irregular heart rhythm. While the risk is generally low for most people, it can be serious if it occurs.

Tratamiento y medicación
Can I take Esomeprazole and Magnesium together?
Taking esomeprazole for a long time (usually more than three months) can lower the levels of magnesium in your blood. This can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle spasms, or an irregular heartbeat. Additionally, if you take magnesium as an antacid or supplement at the same time as esomeprazole, it might slightly interfere with how well the medicine is absorbed.
