Does anyone know if there are prescription interactions with the acai berry supplement?
I have heard so much about the acai berry supplement in helping your weight loss I really want to try it. I can’t seem to find any drug interactions with it because it’s "natural". Could anyone help me with finding out more info? Does anyone have any experience in taking this?
Please don’t guess! All herbal supplements can have side effects — it’s not a good idea to just take them without considering possible interactions with prescriptions. Talk to your doctor — your health comes first!

Acai berries are food.
The supplement is the condensed extract of the most useful part of the berry.
Do drugs usually interact with food?
No.
So, you are probably safe

When in doubt go to http://www.drugs.com and under drugs or medications put in the meds you are taking and the supplements you are considering. It will tell you if there are any interactions with both your drugs and all the foods and supplements that are known.

Ask a GP.
Just because it’s naturla, doesn’t mean it’s not chemically reactive.
St ~John’s wort is a fabulous herbal remedy fpr depression, however it has interactions with the pill and certain anti-biotics.
You’ll have to talk through wuth your doc about each medication you’re taking one by one.
There are far too many variations to ask here.
