American Adder's Tongue + Palifermin
Palifermin brand name: Kepivance.
We found no known interaction between American Adder's Tongue and Palifermin 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.
American Adder's Tongue and Palifermin
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 Palifermin 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 Palifermin, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Palifermin page
“Palifermin (Kepivance) is given by IV to prevent the severe mouth sores that intensive chemotherapy can cause, most often in patients heading into a stem cell transplant, and I read its interaction list with genuine caution because of how fragile those patients already are. All 17 supplements on file act on absorption through the gut,…”

Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. American Adder's Tongue 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 American Adder's Tongue reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The American Adder's Tongue and Palifermin 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 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 Palifermin
What Is Palifermin Used For?
Brand name: Kepivance
Kepivance (palifermin) is used to decrease how often and how long severe oral mucositis — painful sores in the mouth and throat — occurs in patients with hematologic malignancies (blood cancers such as lymphoma, leukemia, or multiple myeloma) who are receiving high-dose, cell-damaging (myelotoxic) therapy before an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (a transplant using the patient's own stem cells).
Kepivance is specifically indicated when the preparative chemotherapy or radiation regimen is expected to cause severe mucositis in most patients. It is not recommended for use with a high-dose melphalan conditioning regimen, and it was not found to be effective in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplant (using a donor's cells). Its safety and effectiveness have not been established for patients with non-blood cancers (non-hematologic malignancies).
Most-Reported Side Effects for Palifermin
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (388 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
