Is It Safe To Take Phytoceramides With History Of Bilateral Mastectomy?
Question: Hello, I'm a 55 year old breast cancer survivor of almost 5 years. I've had a bilateral mastectomy in 2009. Would you tell me if it is safe to take phytoceramides? I also take tamoxifen, atenolol and venlafaxine. Thank you.

it is quite safe
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM .
It is safe to take phytoceramides . There are no major side effects of it with standard dosage.
You need to be careful if you are gluten intolerance diagnosed previously. These phytoceramides are derived from wheat or sweet potatos or rice. So less likely to cause any problem.
Phytoceramides are less likely to have drug interactions and cause any complications with others drugs like tamoxifen , atenolol etc which you are taking.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further query is there I would be happy to help.
