TOPIC: 5htp /magnesium interactions ?

I’m wondering if there has been any notes (tht I have missed ) about taking 5htp or magnesium tablets during sofosbuvir/daclatasivr treatment ? I’m not concerned about side effects - but do not want to take if they inhibit the treatment . Any advice much appreciated (also hoping that I am posting this in the correct forum ) xxx

Hello Smp123,

Magnesium is just a salt so should not cause any problems.

5htp is a byproduct of L-tryptophan metabolism so should also not cause any problems.

So, yes you can continue to take them, but to be safe maybe a couple of hours before or after the Sof/Dac so they have basically no physical contact/mixing in your gut.
