No — it won't interfere with medication.

It will often complement conventional medical treatment by giving an overall strengthening effect and improving the circulation of energy, blood and lymph and reducing stress.

However, your practitioner should be told what other treatment you are receiving, as some of your symptoms may be side-effects of this.

If you are receiving medical treatment for a particular condition, then it may be advisable to inform or consult your doctor prior to undertaking a course of shiatsu.
