Q I'm taking Ursa from internal medicine and milk thistle from the pharmacy. Can I take them with herbal medicine?
A Yes, if you space them out. Take herbal medicine 1–2 hours apart from other medications, and as treatment progresses we adjust which medications to taper.
Detailed Answer
Ursa (ursodeoxycholic acid) and silymarin (milk thistle) are commonly used as liver support, and taking them 1–2 hours apart from herbal medicine minimizes interference with absorption. However, supplements alone will not make fatty liver disappear, so it is important to also address the root metabolic and dietary causes.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
