Atlantic Cedar and Desonide

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 Desonide and Atlantic Cedar 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 Atlantic Cedar at all — not against Desonide, 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.

Atlantic Cedar safety at a glance

Atlantic Cedar overall Use caution Generally used topically in diluted form; the undiluted oil can irritate skin and should not be taken by mouth.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety has not been established, so avoid use while breastfeeding.

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

What to actually watch for

What Desonide’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Atlantic Cedar. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Desonide’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.

  • Itching mentioned in 7.0% of FDA reports for Desonide
  • A skin rash mentioned in 6.6% of FDA reports for Desonide

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Desonide. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 4,959 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Desonide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Atlantic Cedar’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Atlantic Cedar side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Atlantic Cedar has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Desonide page

“DMSO is the one to watch with desonide (Tridesilon), a mild steroid cream used for eczema and other inflamed skin. Applied to the same area, DMSO can pull more of the steroid through than intended, amplifying both its effect and its side effects.”

About Atlantic Cedar

What is Atlantic Cedar?

Atlantic Cedar
  • Hair loss (alopecia areata)
  • Insect repellent
  • Antimicrobial and antifungal
  • Aromatherapy and relaxation
  • Fragrance in cosmetics and perfumes

Atlantic cedar (Cedrus atlantica) is a tree whose wood and essential oil are used in traditional medicine, mainly applied to the skin and scalp or used as a scent. Human evidence for its health benefits is very limited, and the oil should be used diluted and never swallowed. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child.

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

Atlantic Cedar: dosing

There is no established standard dose for Atlantic cedar. It is not meant to be taken by mouth, and most use is topical or as a scent.If you use a product containing the oil, follow the directions on the label and dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil before applying it to skin.
