Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Some clinicians have suggested that evening primrose and borage oil, both of which contain the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid, may lower the seizure threshold and antagonize the effects of anticonvulsants. However, data regarding the effect of gamma linolenic acid on seizure threshold are conflicting and limited. The possibility of an interaction should be considered if loss of seizure control occurs in patients taking evening primrose or borage oil.
