You should always talk to your doctor and your pharmacist before using herbs in combination with prescription drugs.

Welchol or Colesevelam – I did not find any specific Interactions with herbs, but did see a few warnings about it’s use with diabetes medications.

Atenolol is a Beta Blocker if it is being used for arrhythmia, it should not be used in conjunction with the Panc Aid Formula. Licorice may increase the risk of arrhythmias.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a Thiazide Diuretic it should not be used in conjunction with the Pan Aid Formula.
Licorice – may induce Hypokalemia (low serum potassium levels)
Uva Ursi- may antagonize the diuretic effect of thiazide diuretics, as Uva Ursi has a sodium sparing effect.

Never adjust your medications or stop using them with out first talking to your doctor.
If you are taking prescription drugs, always check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any herbal or over the counter products.
