Is 5 htp incompatible with cold or flu medications or probiotics?

As for cold and flu medications, there are possible interactions depending on the ingredients. You will have to address your symptoms "piecemeal" instead of taking a product with ingredients you don't need or that could interact with 5-HTP

I have not found any problems with probiotics :)
