baclofen/aspirin

it there any danger in the combination of these two drugs taken at same time?

anything can be considered a drug...

Garlic is a drug ? Then you could also consider anything entering your body is a drug : food, air, etc. For food, for example, of course interacts with body functions. Vitamins, oligo-elements, etc. first are natural products and present in normal food !

Don't you thing it would be better to live just trying to use good sense and eat or swallow what you feel your body needs, instead of obeing commercial diktats buying plenty of artificial pills (garlic pills !!! garlic is a condiment, why not use it when cooking ???)

Please stop kidding.

one more time...

Clearly one more attempt to scare people into avoiding supplements - which of course have caused countless deaths...I believe close to 2 dozen by now!!!!

Anything you ingest is a drug!

Its ill thought comments like that, that cause serious interactions!

Garlic pills are drugs! Your body is a big chemical factory and everything that you put in it attempts to be metabolised by your digestive system.

Vitamin C is a dietary supplement too - does that mean its not a drug? NO.

Grapefruit juice is a nice refreshing drink, but you wouldn't want to combine it with cyclosporine or common beta blockers as it'll have an adverse reaction.

Always, always read the label!

Inaccuracy

'...That's right, garlic pills are drugs.'

Umm, no they're not. They're dietary supplements.
