No. Unless approved by a doctor, an over-the-counter supplement cannot replace medication prescribed by a doctor. If your medication is not working then you will need to see your doctor to replace or find something to assist your medication. That said, there is no harm in bringing up Turmeron and what it claims to do to your doctor. If there are no potential complications, there are no interactions with your medication, and your doctor clears you to take it, then you can take Turmeron.
