I have to start taking Rose day 10 mg tabs to reduce my LDL level which is 120 mg/dl. Is this a safe drug? What are the likely side effects for this drug? My age 56 Yrs , I am a Female and diabetic (type II) since 5 years. ## I can't find anything listed under the name Rose Day. From the name, I can only conclude that this is an Evening Primrose Oil supplement and if that is the case, this is not a drug, but an over the counter supplement. They are claimed to help with many conditions, but this is not actually proven. This also means that the side effects have not been studied. Have you tried consulting your doctor? Please let me know if this is the product you are referring to. ## i have started taking this medicine since 3 months. iam a male and my age is 31 . i also want 2 know t...

I have found recently information on the net about the harmful effects of evening primrose oil when taken with stelazine. I was surprised that there is no mention of this on the information leaflet that comes with stelazine. Apparently the combination of the these two products can cause seizures.
