The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Alchemilla and Macitentan 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 Macitentan

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 Macitentan 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 Macitentan

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Macitentan is filed under 4 classifications — including antihypertensive drugs, hepatotoxic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Alchemilla has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being topical drugs (minor) — and none of Macitentan’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.

What to actually watch for

What Macitentan’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Alchemilla. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Macitentan’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 6 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on mentioned in 6.6% of FDA reports for Macitentan
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Flushing
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Sore throat
  • Low blood pressure

Showing the 10 most notable of 14 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Macitentan. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 68,860 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Macitentan that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Alchemilla’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Alchemilla side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Alchemilla has no side effects.

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 ↓

  • 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.

What Is Macitentan Used For?

Brand name: Opsumit

Macitentan tablets — sold under the brand name Opsumit — are used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group I), a type of high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. The goal is to slow the disease from getting worse and to lower the chance of being hospitalized because of PAH.

In the key clinical study, macitentan was used in adults with mainly moderate-to-severe PAH symptoms. Patients had PAH caused by unknown or inherited causes, connective tissue disorders, or congenital heart disease with repaired shunts.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Macitentan

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (68,860 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
