Amaranth and Dupilumab

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 Dupilumab and Amaranth 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Amaranth at all — not against Dupilumab, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What to actually watch for

What Dupilumab’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Amaranth. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dupilumab’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. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Eye irritation or redness
  • Dry eyes
  • Itching mentioned in 12.3% of FDA reports for Dupilumab
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Blurred vision
  • Sore throat

Showing the 10 most notable of 19 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 Dupilumab. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 478,975 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dupilumab that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Amaranth’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Amaranth side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Amaranth has no side effects.

About Amaranth

What is Amaranth?

Amaranth
  • Nutrition and as a gluten-free grain
  • High cholesterol
  • Diarrhea and digestive upset
  • Mouth and throat irritation (gargle)
  • Wound and skin care (traditional)

Amaranth is a nutritious plant whose seeds are used as a gluten-free pseudocereal and whose leaves are eaten as a vegetable. It is generally considered safe as a food, but evidence for its medicinal benefits (such as lowering cholesterol) is limited and mostly preliminary. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements.

Amaranthus spp. · Amaranthaceae · Leaves, seeds, seed oil, roots, and whole plant · Seeds and flour (pseudocereal), leafy vegetable, seed oil, capsules, powders, and teas

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

Amaranth: dosing

There is no established standardized medicinal dose for amaranth. As a food, it is simply prepared and eaten like other grains or leafy vegetables.If you choose a supplement, oil, or capsule, follow the directions on the product label, since the amount of active ingredients can vary widely between products.

From our Amaranth monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.
