Why this happens
These mushrooms have additive effects. Both contain compounds (like beta-glucans) that improve insulin sensitivity and others that may interfere with blood clotting (anti-platelet effects). Taking them together doubles up on these specific actions.
What you should do
Use this combination with caution. If you have diabetes or take blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or aspirin), you must speak to your doctor before combining these supplements. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely and watch for signs of easy bruising or nosebleeds. Stop taking both at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery.

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.
