COLD-fX has been demonstrated safe and effective in healthy individuals. Clinical trials have not been conducted specifically in populations with autoimmune diseases. Individuals with arthritis were permitted to participate in our US-regulated trials in seniors and the frequency of adverse events was not different in the COLD-fX versus the placebo (control) group. For other more serious autoimmune conditions such as lupus and multiple sclerosis, we recommend consulting a health care practitioner before taking the COLD-fX herbal remedy for colds and flu. Our laboratory studies suggest that COLD-fX is unlikely to interact with other medications, including drugs used to treat autoimmune conditions, but to be safe, please speak to a health care practitioner if you are taking these medications before consuming COLD-fX.
