Are there situations where it is worth consulting a doctor before taking turmeric capsules? — Innoveda turmeric capsules N60 37.2g – Arvin group sia (turmeric)

Even though turmeric is a plant-based product with a long history of dietary use, in certain situations it is sensible to consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting regular use.

• Sensitive digestion. Turmeric can increase stomach acid secretion, which causes discomfort in some people, especially when taken on an empty stomach. If you are prone to heartburn or gastritis, check with a specialist about the best time to take it.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is not enough data on the safety of high doses of curcuminoids during these periods, so taking the supplement should be agreed with your attending doctor.
• Taking medication. Curcumin can interact with certain medicines, in particular anticoagulants and drugs affecting blood clotting. If you take any medication, a consultation with a doctor is needed before using the supplement, especially with blood-thinning drugs.

The supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease.
