Can I take 50 and Oregano oil together?

Why this happens

Oregano oil may slow down the liver enzymes (specifically CYP2C19 and CYP3A4) that are responsible for breaking down sertraline. This can cause the medicine to build up in your system. Both substances also have mild effects on how platelets work in the blood and how the body manages glucose.

It is best to avoid using concentrated oregano oil supplements while taking sertraline. If you decide to use them, you should speak with your GP or pharmacist first. Monitor yourself closely for increased side effects like extreme sleepiness or feeling 'spaced out'. If you are diabetic or take blood-thinning medication, you must consult your doctor before combining these.
