Agrimony and Dapagliflozin

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIDIABETES DRUGS

Why this applies to Dapagliflozin

Dapagliflozin falls under ANTIDIABETES DRUGS — the group Agrimony interacts with.

Theoretically, taking agrimony with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Agrimony has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects in animal research.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist with Farxiga (dapagliflozin) and agrimony. Dapagliflozin already lowers your blood sugar by helping your kidneys flush out extra glucose through your urine. In animal studies, agrimony has shown its own mild blood-sugar-lowering effect. So the worry is simple math: stack two things that push sugar down and you could go a little too low.

I want to be honest about the strength of this, though. It's theoretical, based mostly on animal research, not solid human trials. If you do try agrimony, just keep an eye out for hypoglycemia signs like shakiness, sweating, dizziness, or feeling foggy, and check your sugars a bit more closely at first. Loop in your pharmacist or doctor before adding it, especially if you also take insulin or a sulfonylurea.

About Agrimony

What is Agrimony?

Agrimony
  • Sore throat and mouth irritation
  • Mild diarrhea and digestive upset
  • Minor wounds and skin irritation
  • Gallbladder and liver complaints
  • Blood sugar support

Agrimony is a traditional European herb rich in tannins that has long been used for sore throats, mild diarrhea, and minor skin problems. Good-quality human studies are very limited, so its benefits remain unproven. If you choose to try it, use it short-term, follow the product label, and check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

About Dapagliflozin

What Is Dapagliflozin Used For?

Brand name: Farxiga

Dapagliflozin is used for several serious conditions. It helps improve blood sugar control in adults and children aged 10 and older with type 2 diabetes (alongside diet and exercise). It also reduces the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes who have established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

Farxiga (dapagliflozin) is additionally approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization, and urgent visits due to heart failure in adults with heart failure — and to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease, including reducing the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular death, in adults with chronic kidney disease at risk of getting worse.
