American Mistletoe and Dalteparin

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 Dalteparin and American Mistletoe 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 Dalteparin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dalteparin is filed under 2 classifications — anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs, oral drugs. American Mistletoe has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being antihypertensive drugs (major) and vasodilators (major) — and none of Dalteparin’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 American Mistletoe Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Dalteparin. It is the side-effect record for American Mistletoe on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add American Mistletoe, this list is the first place to look. 3 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dehydration Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, American mistletoe can cause acute gastroenteritis. Consuming large doses of American mistletoe may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Diarrhea and vomiting from ingestion of American mistletoe can lead to dehydration, hypovolemic shock, and cardiovascular collapse (6).”

  • A slow heartbeat / Raised blood pressure Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Evidence on adverse effects related to American mistletoe is limited to retrospective case reviews from poison control centers. Most reports suggest that American mistletoe may be relatively well tolerated at lower doses.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for American Mistletoe — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dalteparin’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Dalteparin column appears here.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dalteparin page

“Dalteparin (Fragmin) is an injectable blood thinner used to prevent and treat dangerous clots, which is exactly why this list warrants real vigilance, and nearly all 218 ingredients on it thin the blood too. They are herbs and extracts with clot-inhibiting or antiplatelet effects of their own, so stacking them on dalteparin can push bl…”

About American Mistletoe

What is American Mistletoe?

American Mistletoe
  • Traditional folk remedies
  • Digestive complaints
  • Decorative holiday plant

American mistletoe is a parasitic plant that is best known as a holiday decoration, not a proven medicine. It contains toxins that can harm the heart, gut, and blood vessels, and it has little reliable evidence to support any health use. We do not recommend taking it, and all parts should be kept away from children and pets.

Phoradendron leucarpum · Santalaceae · Leaves, stems, and berries · Rarely used as a supplement; historically as tea or dried plant. Most often seen as a holiday decoration.

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

American Mistletoe: dosing

There is no established safe or effective dose of American mistletoe. Because the plant is toxic and not recommended for medicinal use, no dosing guidance can be given.If you ever see a product containing mistletoe, do not take it without first speaking to a pharmacist or doctor. The safest approach is to avoid using American mistletoe internally altogether.

About Dalteparin Injection

What Is Dalteparin Injection Used For?

Brand name: Fragmin

Fragmin (dalteparin) injection is used to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) in patients having abdominal surgery, hip replacement surgery, or in medical patients who are severely immobile during a serious illness. It is also used to reduce the risk of dangerous complications from unstable angina and a type of heart attack called non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, given alongside aspirin.

Fragmin is also used for the extended treatment of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE — blood clots in the veins or lungs) to prevent recurrence in adult cancer patients, and for the treatment of symptomatic VTE in children from birth (gestational age at least 35 weeks). Fragmin is not intended for the immediate (acute) treatment of VTE.
