Curcumin and Lysine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Curcumin (turmeric) and Lysine (lysine). Common drug interactions include blood magnesium decreased among females and skin infection among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Curcumin and Lysine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 85 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
