The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Alchemilla and Aluminum Hydroxide in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Alchemilla and Aluminum Hydroxide

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Aluminum Hydroxide and Alchemilla in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Aluminum Hydroxide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Aluminum Hydroxide is filed under 3 classifications — including antacids, oral drugs. Alchemilla has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being topical drugs (minor) — and none of Aluminum Hydroxide’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Aluminum Hydroxide

This page covers Alchemilla only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Aluminum Hydroxide page lists 35 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Calcium (moderate), Cinchona (moderate), Coffee Charcoal (moderate) and European Mandrake (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 14 moderate · 20 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aluminum Hydroxide page

“An antacid sounds harmless, and that is exactly why the supplement interactions with aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel, Gaviscon) deserve real attention before you combine it with much of anything. The most serious entry is activated charcoal, which can soak up many medications in the gut and sharply cut how much of them your body actually…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Alchemilla is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Alchemilla reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Alchemilla and Aluminum Hydroxide records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Alchemilla

What is Alchemilla?

Alchemilla
  • Menstrual and women's health complaints
  • Diarrhea and digestive upset
  • Wound healing (topical)
  • Skin moisturizing (topical)
  • Mild inflammation

Alchemilla (lady's mantle) is a European herb traditionally used for digestive complaints, women's health issues, and as an astringent for skin and wounds. Solid human research is very limited, so its benefits remain largely unproven, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data.

Alchemilla vulgaris · Rosaceae · Above-ground parts (leaves and flowering tops) · Tea, tincture, dried herb, capsules, topical gels and creams

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Alchemilla is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Alchemilla record says about it on its own.

Alchemilla: dosing

There is no well-established or standardized dose for Alchemilla, because it has not been studied enough in clinical trials. Traditional use often involves a tea made from the dried herb or a tincture, and topical products are applied to the skin.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.
