Drug & supplement interaction

Angelica Archangelica + Molindone

Molindone brand name: Moban.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Angelica Archangelica and Molindone 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Angelica Archangelica and Molindone

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 Molindone and Angelica Archangelica 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.

Angelica Archangel... overall Use caution Often used in food amounts, but medicinal doses are not well studied and can cause skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Pregnancy Avoid Traditionally thought to affect the uterus and not well studied; best avoided in medicinal amounts.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety data, so avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Molindone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Molindone is filed under 3 classifications — antipsychotic drugs, seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. Angelica Archangelica has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being photosensitizing drugs (moderate) — and none of Molindone’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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Angelica Archangelica and Molindone May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Constipation Additional detail

    “Orally, Angelica archangelica has been reported to cause constipation in one out of 21 patients taking a specific Angelica archangelica leaf extract (SagaPro, SagaMedica).”

Overlapping uses

What Molindone Is Prescribed For, and What Angelica Archangelica Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Molindone is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Angelica Archangelica is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Molindone is prescribed for: Molindone Hydrochloride Tablets are approved for the management of schizophrenia. Its effectiveness was shown in clinical studies involving both newly hospitalized patients and those with chronic, acutely ill schizophrenia. Molindone Hydrochloride Tablets are not approved for dementia-related psychosis in elderly patients.

Angelica Archangelica has been studied for:

  • Dementia studied, not established Angelica Archangelica has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Angelica Archangelica for dementia

    Although there has been interest in using oral Angelica archangelica for dementia, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of Angelica archangelica for this condition.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Molindone on your own; if you are taking Angelica Archangelica for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Molindone

This page covers Angelica Archangelica only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Molindone page lists 31 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Indian Snakeroot (major), Rauvolfia Vomitoria (major), Biofeedback (moderate) and Coffee Charcoal (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 18 moderate · 10 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Molindone page

“Activated charcoal is the supplement to know about first with molindone (Moban). It can bind the drug in the gut and shrink the amount that reaches the bloodstream, and it holds one of three major ratings on this list.”

About Angelica Archangelica

What is Angelica Archangelica?

Angelica Archangelica
  • Digestive upset and gas
  • Loss of appetite
  • Anxiety and restlessness
  • Mild respiratory complaints
  • Flavoring in foods and drinks

Angelica archangelica is a tall aromatic herb used traditionally for digestive complaints, poor appetite, and to flavor foods and liqueurs. Solid human evidence for its health benefits is limited, and its skin-sensitizing furanocoumarins mean caution is warranted. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it, and anyone considering it should check with a pharmacist or doctor first.

Angelica archangelica · Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) · Root, seeds (fruit), leaves, and essential oil · Tea, dried root, tincture, capsules, essential oil, and as a flavoring in liqueurs

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

Angelica Archangelica: dosing

There is no well-established standardized dose for Angelica archangelica. Traditional preparations include teas made from the dried root or seeds, tinctures, and capsules, but the amount of active compounds can vary widely between products.Because reliable dosing guidelines are lacking, the safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them. Avoid combining it with strong sun exposure or tanning.

Taking Angelica Archangelica and Molindone Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Angelica Archangelica with Molindone?
We do not list a known interaction between Angelica Archangelica and Molindone. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Angelica Archangelica and Molindone have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Are Angelica Archangelica and Molindone used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Angelica Archangelica in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Molindone is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Angelica Archangelica and Molindone combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Molindone is filed under 3 classifications, and Angelica Archangelica has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Molindone's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Angelica Archangelica interact with any other medications?
Yes. Angelica Archangelica has 335 documented drug interactions in our database — Molindone is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Molindone interact with any supplements?
Yes. Molindone has documented interactions with 31 supplements in our database — Angelica Archangelica is not one of them. The Molindone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
