Life, here is some information from the pharma companies. I am not a doctor so have absolutely no idea about other drug interactions. I don't take any other drugs or supplements so there is no issue for me in that regard. I saw a link somewhere on the forum about interactions but have no idea what forum it was on.
1. If I were you I would very, very seriously consider talking with Dr Freeman or some other healthcare professional. These are powerful drugs and the treatment and possible side effect dangers really depends on your individual situation. A few dollars invested in professional support is an excellent investment.
2. I would also do some in depth research, read and educate myself before starting treating so you are aware of the ramifications of treating yourself with this method. I am far from an expert on the subject but have read tons of reports, studies on the trials, applications for approval to the FDA and their European counterpart, etc,. etc., so feel quite comfortable with self-treatment but I have also found a liver specialist that will support me informally as he cannot support me formally because I am using medicine in a combination that is not yet covered by health insurance in Japan.
Getting information on these forums is/can be a good idea but tends to be information from regular people. Though well-meaning and sometimes quite informative, the "advice" on these types of forums cannot/should not replace that which you can get from a professional, unless you have absolutely no way of accessing professional support.. While reading the posts you have probably noticed that basically everyone has some type of professional support.
There are many good websites with lots of detailed information regarding diet, etc, etc.

Hope this helps. Good luck. Gary
