Interactions between your drugs
PHYSostigmine evening primrose
Applies to: Antilirium (physostigmine), evening primrose
Some clinicians have suggested that evening primrose and borage oil, both of which contain the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA), may lower the seizure threshold and increase the risk of seizures during co-administration with other epileptogenic agents. However, data regarding the effect of gamma linolenic acid on seizure threshold are conflicting and limited.
