Why this happens
Both mushrooms have 'blood-thinning' properties that prevent platelets from sticking together, and both can lower blood sugar. Taking them together may create an additive effect, strengthening these actions.
What you should do
Use caution when combining these supplements. If you are scheduled for surgery, stop taking them at least two weeks beforehand. If you have diabetes or take blood-thinning medication (like warfarin), consult your doctor first, as your dosages may need adjusting. Monitor for signs of low blood sugar, such as dizziness or shaking.

Can I take Fluoxetine and Tramadol together?
Taking these two medicines together can lead to a rare but very serious condition called 'serotonin syndrome'. This happens when there is too much of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. Symptoms can include feeling very agitated, confused, or shaky, as well as sweating, a fast heartbeat, muscle stiffness, or diarrhoea. In extreme cases, it can cause seizures. Additionally, fluoxetine can make tramadol less effective at relieving your pain.
