Hi,

Incomplete data like the actual name of the antibiotic prescribed in the strength of 400 mg?

Kalms (valerian dry root extract) is an alternative (herbal) medicine used to treat anxiety and insomnia (sleep-related problems).

There is no documented evidence of any harmful interactions between kalms and any antibiotic whatsoever if taken together. So, this antibiotic can be taken safely while on kalms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
