Chemotherapy और Herbal Supplements: ख़तरनाक Combo? | Here's the Truth! | Dr Praveen Kammar
Are Herbal Supplements Safe During Chemotherapy?
Many cancer patients turn to herbal supplements, hoping to boost recovery or reduce side effects. However, these supplements can interfere with chemotherapy drugs, altering their effectiveness or increasing toxicity.

Why Do Patients Use Herbal Supplements During Chemotherapy?
Beliefs about natural safety and previous usage often lead patients to try herbal products without consulting their oncologist, risking unexpected interactions.

How Herbal Supplements Interact with Chemotherapy Drugs?
Chemotherapy drugs are processed by the liver and kidneys. Herbal supplements can either speed up or slow down this process, impacting drug effectiveness and safety.

Can Herbal Supplements Make Chemotherapy Less Effective?
Yes, some herbs accelerate drug elimination, causing chemotherapy drugs to exit the body too quickly, reducing their effectiveness.

Do Herbal Supplements Increase Chemotherapy Side Effects?
Certain herbs, like garlic, can slow down drug elimination, leading to higher toxicity and severe side effects.

Is There Scientific Proof Supporting Herbal Supplements During Chemotherapy?
There is no reliable scientific evidence showing that herbal supplements improve chemotherapy outcomes. Most drug-herb interactions are unstudied, making their use risky.

Should You Avoid Herbal Supplements During Chemotherapy?
The safest approach is to avoid herbal supplements unless approved by your oncologist to prevent harmful interactions.

Why Consulting Your Oncologist About Herbal Supplements Is Crucial?
Discussing supplements with your oncologist ensures your treatment plan is safe and effective, preventing dangerous interactions.
