Silybum marianum
Milk thistle has been used for over 2,000 years as a natural remedy for liver and gallbladder disorders. Its active compound complex, silymarin, has been extensively studied for hepatoprotective effects. It is one of the few herbs with strong clinical evidence for liver support and protection.
| Drug | Severity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Methotrexate | moderate | Milk thistle may affect methotrexate metabolism. While it may provide liver protection, it could also alter drug levels. |
| Diazepam (Valium) | mild | Milk thistle may slow the metabolism of diazepam, potentially increasing its sedative effects. |
| Simvastatin | mild | Milk thistle may slightly increase simvastatin levels through enzyme inhibition. |
