Interaction report

American Adder's Tongue and Dolutegravir

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 Dolutegravir and American Adder's Tongue 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 American Adder's Tongue at all — not against Dolutegravir, 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 Dolutegravir’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves American Adder's Tongue. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dolutegravir’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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Liver problems Worth acting on
An allergic reaction Worth acting on
Trouble sleeping
Tiredness mentioned in 5.4% of FDA reports for Dolutegravir
Headache mentioned in 4.6% of FDA reports for Dolutegravir
A skin rash

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dolutegravir. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 19,465 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dolutegravir that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. American Adder's Tongue’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no American Adder's Tongue side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that American Adder's Tongue has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Dolutegravir

This page covers American Adder's Tongue only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Dolutegravir page lists 65 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Calcium (major), St. John's Wort (major), Bitter Melon (moderate) and Black Pepper (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 46 moderate · 16 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dolutegravir page

“Dolutegravir (Tivicay) works only when its blood level stays high enough to keep HIV suppressed, so a supplement that drags that level down can let the virus rebound, and this list warrants genuine care. Three of the 65 entries are rated major.”

About American Adder's Tongue

What is American Adder's Tongue?

Skin ulcers and wounds
Swollen glands
Minor skin irritation
Folk remedy for nausea (as an emetic)

American Adder's Tongue (Erythronium americanum) is a woodland lily used in traditional folk medicine, mainly as a crushed-leaf poultice for skin ulcers and wounds. There is very little modern scientific evidence to support any of its uses, and safety information is limited, so it should be used cautiously and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Erythronium americanum · Liliaceae · Leaves and tubers (corms) · Crushed fresh leaves (poultice), juice, tea, tincture

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

About Dolutegravir

What Is Dolutegravir Used For?

Brand name: Tivicay

Tivicay and Tivicay PD are used to treat HIV-1 infection. They are always taken in combination with other antiretroviral medicines — they are not used alone. Both products are approved for adults (whether new to treatment or previously treated) and for children who have not previously been treated with an integrase inhibitor (INSTI).

Tivicay (the standard tablet) has an additional use: it can be combined with rilpivirine as a complete two-drug regimen for adults whose HIV is already well controlled (virologically suppressed) on a stable treatment plan for at least 6 months, with no history of treatment failure or known resistance to either drug.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Dolutegravir

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (19,465 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Anxiety 1,892 reports

Emotional distress 1,748 reports

Anhedonia 1,579 reports

Chronic kidney disease 1,161 reports

Fatigue 1,057 reports
