Has anyone with lupus tried milk thistle?
The search results don't include specific information about milk thistle use for lupus or experiences from MyLupusTeam members with this supplement.
However, it's important to know that supplements aren't closely regulated for quality or safety, and what's in them can vary. Some supplements can cause problems, especially at high doses, and may interact with lupus medications in unpredictable ways.
Before trying milk thistle or any supplement, talk to your rheumatologist. They can help you understand:
* Whether it's safe with your current medications
* Potential side effects or risks
* If it might trigger a lupus flare
* Whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks
People with lupus need to be especially cautious with supplements that affect the immune system, as they could interfere with immunosuppressive treatments or cause unwanted reactions.
