R.G. scrawled:
"Does anyone know of the interaction between Saint John's Wort and the
protease inhibitors?"

Rather timely enquiry perhaps - see the following Public Health Advisory
from the FDA released during the week.

FDA Issues Advisory about Risks of Drug Interactions with St. John's
Wort and HIV Drugs.   Public Health Advisory. (2/10/2000)
