Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Is Ashwagandha a general medicine? Is it fine to take it for OCD along with other drugs like Nootropil 800 mg (Piracetam) and Serta 50 mg (Sertraline)?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Ashwagandha is a well-known Ayurvedic herb. Mostly used as a general tonic to rejuvenate the body. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety by regulating the nervous system. Ashwagandha serves as a medicine in several forms like powder, tablet, capsules, syrup, paste, etc. It has several benefits. It improves body immunity, reduces mental stress, provides healthy sleep, improves vital activities, and several others. Yes, you can take Ashwagandha as general medicine. But the dose and duration of medications should be according to your body's condition.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
