Pharmacist Analysis
Studies are few and far between, but the only reported interactions with wild lettuce are with sedative drugs as wild lettuce is purported to have sedative effects.
This would include drugs like antihistamines, opioids, and benzodiazepines. These are detailed on our individual drug interaction pages.
Additionally, as wild lettuce may contain hyoscyamine, an anticholinergic drug, it should be used cautiously with other anticholinergic drugs due to the increased risk of side effects.
Wild Lettuce Overview
Inclisiran Overview
-
Inclisiran injection is used along with diet alone or in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medications to decrease the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood in people with familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) (an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally). It is also used along with diet changes and other treatments to reduce the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood in people who have clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inclisiran injection is in a class of medications called proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9)-interfering mRNA. It works by decreasing the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.
