Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Rifampin and Premorse. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Premorse Overview
Scabiosa succisa, commonly known as devil's-bit or devil's-bit scabious, is a flowering plant native to Europe and Western Asia. It belongs to the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae) and is characterized by its clusters of small, violet-blue flowers that bloom in late summer to early autumn.
In traditional herbal medicine, Scabiosa succisa has been used to treat various ailments, including respiratory issues, digestive problems, the common cold and skin conditions. It has also been used as a mild sedative and to promote overall well-being. The plant contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including tannins, flavonoids, and saponins, which are believed to contribute to its potential health benefits.
While it shows promise as a natural remedy, further research is needed to establish its safety and efficacy for use as a dietary supplement.
Rifampin Overview
-
Rifampin is used with other medications to treat tuberculosis (TB; a serious infection that affects the lungs and sometimes other parts of the body). Rifampin is also used to treat some people who have Neisseria meningitidis (a type of bacteria that can cause a serious infection called meningitis) infections in their noses or throats. These people have not developed symptoms of the disease, and this treatment is used to prevent them from infecting other people. Rifampin should not be used to treat people who have developed symptoms of meningitis. Rifampin is in a class of medications called antimycobacterials. It works by killing the bacteria that cause infection.
-
Antibiotics such as rifampin will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
