Medically reviewed by · Updated June 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Arrach and Carvedilol 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 label for Carvedilol states a food rule worth keeping to.

Arrach and Carvedilol

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 Carvedilol and Arrach 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.

Arrach safety at a glance

Arrach overall Not established There is very little modern safety data on Arrach, so use cannot be considered proven safe.
Pregnancy Avoid Traditionally linked to menstrual effects, so it should be avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No safety information is available, so avoid 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 Carvedilol

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Carvedilol is filed under 7 classifications — including beta-blockers, cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates, antihypertensive drugs. Arrach has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being photosensitizing drugs (moderate) — and none of Carvedilol’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.

Keep it in perspective

What Carvedilol’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Arrach. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Carvedilol’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Carvedilol. Read the label on DailyMed › Arrach’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Arrach side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Arrach has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Carvedilol Products Have a Food Rule — Arrach Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Carvedilol says to take it with food. If you take Arrach on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Carvedilol with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Carvedilol products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION COREG should be taken with food to slow the rate of absorption and reduce the incidence of orthostatic effects.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Carvedilol — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Carvedilol page

“People take carvedilol (Coreg) for heart failure and high blood pressure, conditions where a sudden swing in pressure or heart rate matters, and its supplement list runs to 211 ingredients, so this one calls for genuine care. More than half of those entries lower blood pressure on their own, fish oil and celery seed among them, and can…”

About Arrach

What is Arrach?

Arrach
  • Painful menstruation
  • Nervous complaints
  • Digestive upset
  • Wound care
  • Insect repellent

Arrach (Chenopodium vulvaria) is a strong-smelling European herb that has been used in traditional folk medicine, mainly for menstrual and nervous complaints. There is very little modern scientific evidence to show that it works or is safe, so it is not recommended, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using any herbal product.

Chenopodium vulvaria · Amaranthaceae · Leaves and aerial (above-ground) parts · Dried herb, tea/infusion, and topical preparations

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

Arrach: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for Arrach. It is not a common commercial supplement, and reliable dosing information from modern sources does not exist.If you ever come across a product containing Arrach, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Carvedilol

What Is Carvedilol Used For?

Brand names: Coreg, Coreg CR

Carvedilol is used to treat three main conditions: mild-to-severe chronic heart failure, high blood pressure (hypertension), and reduced heart pumping function (left ventricular dysfunction) in people who have survived a heart attack. For heart failure, it is usually prescribed alongside other medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and digitalis to help people live longer and reduce the chance of hospital stays.

For people who have had a heart attack and whose heart is not pumping as well as it should, carvedilol is used to lower the risk of dying from heart-related causes. For high blood pressure, it can be used on its own or combined with other blood pressure medicines.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Carvedilol

Taking Arrach and Carvedilol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Arrach with Carvedilol?

Should I take Arrach and Carvedilol at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Carvedilol says to take it with food. If you take Arrach on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Carvedilol with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Carvedilol products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Arrach and Carvedilol combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Carvedilol is filed under 7 classifications, and Arrach has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Carvedilol'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 Arrach interact with any other medications?
Yes. Arrach has 335 documented drug interactions in our database — Carvedilol 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 Carvedilol interact with any supplements?
Yes. Carvedilol has documented interactions with 211 supplements in our database — Arrach is not one of them. The Carvedilol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
