"Turmeric supplements are safe for most people. But if you’re taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin, check with your doctor before taking turmeric supplements. High doses of turmeric could have a blood-thinning effect; if taken on top of prescribed anticoagulants, this could increase the risk of dangerous bleeding.
People with liver or bile duct problems should not take turmeric supplements, as they can increase bile production. Cooking with turmeric shouldn’t cause problems. "

Interactions. If you take any medicines regularly, talk to your doctor before you start using turmeric supplements. They could interact with medicines like aspirin, NSAID painkillers, statins, diabetes drugs, blood pressure medicines, and blood thinners. They might also interact with supplements that decrease clotting, like ginkgo, ginseng, and garlic.
That's most common medications.

The only recommendation for turmeric supplements ( curcumin) with any credibility I am aware of is for inflammatory conditions like early stage arthritis where there are no other medical conditions. I have RA and I won't risk it. I only use turmeric as a spice, at those levels it is supposed to be safe.
The only 'herbal' type treatment that has been proven to the point of being recognised by Versus Arthritis ( arthritis research council as was) is capsaicin in ointment form. But to be effective it needs to be at a strength that has to be prescribed. The health food shop versions are not strong enough. NB this is basically super hot chilli paste, it burns and causes irritation for a lot of users but seems to work by overloading pain receptors.
