American Ivy and Eprosartan

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 Eprosartan and American Ivy 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.

American Ivy safety at a glance

American Ivy overall Use caution Little safety data exists, and the berries are toxic, so use it cautiously and avoid eating any part of the plant.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety information, so it is best to avoid use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoiding it is the safer choice.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Eprosartan

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Eprosartan is filed under 3 classifications — angiotensin receptor blockers (arbs), antihypertensive drugs, oral drugs. American Ivy has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being thiazide diuretics (moderate) — and none of Eprosartan’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 Eprosartan

This page covers American Ivy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Eprosartan page lists 138 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), American Mistletoe (major), Tyramine (major) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 112 moderate · 22 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Eprosartan page

“Activated charcoal deserves the first look from anyone taking eprosartan (Teveten) for blood pressure, because it can soak up the medicine in the gut and leave less of your dose to do its job. It is one of four major-rated entries among the 138 supplements and herbs on this page, enough to warrant real wariness rather than a shrug.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. American Ivy 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 Ivy reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The American Ivy and Eprosartan 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 Ivy

What is American Ivy?

American Ivy
  • Digestive upset
  • To stimulate sweating
  • Traditional tonic use
  • Skin and swelling complaints (topical folk use)

American Ivy (Virginia creeper) is mainly an ornamental climbing vine with a long history of folk use for digestion and sweating, but there is very little human evidence to support any health benefit. Its berries contain oxalic acid and are considered poisonous, and the plant can irritate the skin. Because safety data is limited, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Parthenocissus quinquefolia · Vitaceae · Bark, leaves, and stems (berries are considered poisonous) · Dried bark, tinctures, teas; rarely sold as a standardized supplement

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

American Ivy: dosing

There is no established safe or effective dose for American Ivy. It is not a standardized supplement, so the strength of any product can vary a lot.If you choose to use a product that contains it, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. Never make a home preparation from the raw plant or its berries.

About Eprosartan

What Is Eprosartan Used For?

Brand name: Teveten

  • Eprosartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Eprosartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.

  • High blood pressure is a common condition, and when not treated it can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
