1. According to the US Berkley Wellness Guide: You’ll do well to ignore nearly all the claims. Evening primrose oil is not effective against diabetic neuropathy. Current evidence shows evening primrose oil of no value in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome, diabetes, or heart disease. Evening primrose oil and similar products are unproven for any medical or health purpose. Manufacturers of evening primrose oil make troubling, unfounded, and illegal claims. It might be worth trying for rheumatoid arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation, but only on medical advice. Though evening primrose oil may cause headaches and rashes, it is generally safe, however, except in pregnancy.

3. check all this out with the pharmicist at the chemist if any body knows they should . and let them know if u r on other meds. so it does not clash .
