Is Turmeric Safe to Take with Letrozole?

For your safety with your regime, I would check with the Oncologist with any OTC medications, other than what was permitted. So many untoward reactions or med interferences can occur.

My doctor suggested Tumeric and even showed me which one to order. I got horrible joint pain on anastrozole that happened quickly at month 3. Been on letrozole for 2 months,saw oncologist a couple weeks ago. Told her I'm really nervous that might happen again and she said to start the natural supplements just in case. Also Sports Reseach Tart Cherry. On Amazon. So far I just have a little joint pain in my fingers,it goes mostly away after my shower.

I just asked my medical oncologist the same question today and he said yes I can take Tumeric.

Drug interactions are an important safety concern, especially when managing cancer treatment. It's always best to check with your oncology team or pharmacist about any supplements you're considering while on letrozole, as they have access to your complete medical history and can provide personalized guidance. Many others in this community have likely navigated similar questions about supplements during treatment, so hopefully you'll hear from others who can share their experiences too.
