Can this food supplement be taken together with hormonal contraceptives or other hormonal medicines? — Evalar Indole Forte 100 mg, 30 capsules

Indole-3-carbinol takes part in oestrogen metabolism at the level of the liver. That is why combining it with hormonal contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy or other hormonal medicines is a question to settle together with a specialist, not on your own.

The packaging recommends consulting a doctor before taking the supplement; if you take hormonal products, this is especially important. This is a standard recommendation for any supplement that affects hormonal metabolism: not a cause for concern, but an important step before starting.

It is hard to assess a possible interaction yourself, because it depends on the specific medicine, its dose and the individual characteristics of the body. A gynaecologist or endocrinologist can give a personal recommendation that takes your situation into account.
