Interactions with C10 supplement and Adriomyicin chemo?

Posted by huntz57 @huntz57, Mar 15, 2016

Hello....My very close friend of 32 years is receiving Adriomyicin chemo. I want to know if the supplement CQ10 would be okay to take daily.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

Hi @huntz57, welcome to Connect.
You are wise to check interactions between drugs and supplements. Have you spoken to a pharmacist or the oncologist about possible interactions?

I don't want to scare you, but I was on adriamyacin twice and it cased<br />
heart failure. I'm ok but on meds for my heart.<br />

Thanks for sharing your experience @eliana and welcome to Connect.
Adriamycin (doxorubicin) can cause serious heart problems and patients are closely monitored when receiving it.

What were you being treated for Eliana?
