It is fine to combine TCM with pharmaceutical medications but it is advisable, however, that the medications be taken at different times of the day (usually we recommend that the patient wait at least 2 hours between the time they take their herbs and the time they take their pharmaceuticals). This will allow for no interactions or side effects between the pharmaceuticals and the herbal medicine.
