Prilosec and Metabolife??

by Tami__0__0, Sep 09, 1998 12:00AM

  I have been taking metabolife, and have been having great success with it. I have just been perscribed 20mg per day of Prilosec for acid reflux. I was wondering if there would be any I want to say drug interactions (but Metabolife is all natural herbs)if I kept taking the metabolife and started taking the Prilosec. I don't want to start taking the Prilosec till I know it's safe. You may need to know the ingredients of Metabolife to see if any of these would counteract or much worse with each other so here they are:
  Vitamin E                                      6 i.u
  Magnesium (as Magnesium Chelate)               75 mg
  Zinc (as Zinc Chelate)                          5 mg
  Chromuim (as Chromium Picolinate)              75 mg
  Then a Proprietary Blend of 728 mg of:
  Guarana Concentrate (seed) (40 mg naturally-occurring caffine)
  Ma Huang Concentrate (aerial part) (12mg naturally-occurring
                                                     ephedrines)
  Bee Pollen
  Ginseng (root)
  Ginger  (root)
  Lecithin
  Bovine Complex
  Damiana (leaf)
  Sarsaparilla (root)
  Golden Seal (aerial part)
  Nettles (leaf)
  Gotu Kola (aerial part)
  Spirulina Algae
  Royal Jelly
  Other ingredients: Methocel, silica, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate.
  Would very much like to take both, hope you can help!
