Thank you doctor!

–Yes, it’s safe to drink soaked fenugreek water in the morning, about 2 hours after taking your Losartan 50 mg. You can also have fenugreek tea in the evening with your Lipomap. Fenugreek may help with blood sugar control, but it won’t replace healthy diet, exercise, and regular monitoring. Make sure to check your blood sugar regularly to see how it’s affecting you.

Thanks so much for clarifying this! I had no idea mixing meds could be risky. I'll stick to my doctor's meds and look into Ayurveda separately.
