Hi - they shouldn't interfere with each other, so there's no harm in taking both. You might try both, or then one and then the other, and see what combo works best for you. I find the caps are better as a prevention of symptoms instead of relieving them - they take a while to reach the intestines and dissolve, so they won't help asap like a cup of strong hot peppermint tea would. And if you have an anti-spasmodic drug that dissolves under your tongue, that will work faster than a pill you swallow. Feel free to mix and match here, and find what works best for you.
