Lactare Capsule

Effect

The liquorice in Lactare capsule copies a hormone that tells your kidneys to hold on to salt and dump potassium, which is exactly the action Spironolactone is prescribed to block. The two pull against each other and your water tablet can stop working properly.

Effect

Taking Lactare capsule with Warfarin can raise your bleeding risk, because the garlic in it makes your platelets less sticky and the fenugreek holds natural blood-thinning compounds of its own. Both add to what your blood thinner is already doing, with no change to your dose.

Effect

The liquorice in Lactare capsule blocks the enzyme that switches steroids off, so Prednisolone hangs around longer and acts more strongly than the dose intends. Fluid retention, raised blood pressure and other steroid side effects become more pronounced.

Effect

The ashwagandha in Lactare capsule genuinely sedates the brain, and Alprazolam is a calming medicine that damps down the same system. The combined drowsiness can be far heavier than you would ever expect from a herbal supplement.

Effect

The fenugreek in Lactare capsule slows how fast you absorb carbohydrate and makes your body more sensitive to insulin, lowering blood sugar in its own right. Added to the insulin release Glimepiride drives, your blood sugar can fall further than expected.

Effect

The liquorice in Lactare capsule lowers your blood potassium, and Digoxin grips its target pump in the heart more tightly when potassium is scarce. A Digoxin dose that was perfectly safe before can start producing toxic effects on your heart rhythm.

Effect

The ashwagandha in Lactare capsule has been shown to raise thyroid hormone levels on its own, and that adds to the Thyroxine you are already prescribed. The combination can tip you into an overactive thyroid state.

Effect

The fenugreek in Lactare capsule lowers your blood sugar by itself by slowing how fast sugar is taken up from your gut, and that adds to your injected Insulin. Low blood sugar becomes more likely, especially in the first few weeks of taking it.

Effect

The liquorice in Lactare capsule pushes potassium out through its hormone-like action while the water tablet Furosemide flushes it out through your kidneys. Potassium can fall far enough to cause cramps, marked weakness and heart rhythm problems.
