Bishop's Weed and Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Bishop's Weed interacts with whole categories of medication. Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Bishop's Weed in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

1 of 2

Why this applies to Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone

Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Bishop's Weed interacts with.

Bergapten, a constituent of bishop's weed, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in vitro. Theoretically, bishop's weed might inhibit elimination and increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include alprazolam (Xanax), amitriptyline (Elavil), amiodarone (Cordarone), buspirone (Buspar), cerivastatin (Baycol), citalopram (Celexa), felodipine (Plendil), fexofenadine (Allegra), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), lansoprazole (Prevacid), losartan (Cozaar), lovastatin (Mevacor), ondansetron (Zofran), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), sertraline (Zoloft), sibutramine (Meridia), sildenafil (Viagra), simvastatin (Zocor), verapamil (Calan, Covera-HS, Isoptin), and many others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the angle that matters with this combo pill (Damason-P). The hydrocodone part relies on a liver enzyme called CYP3A4 to be broken down. A compound in Bishop's Weed (bergapten) can slow that same enzyme down, at least in lab studies. In theory, that could let hydrocodone build up a bit more than usual, nudging up its effects like drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, and in larger amounts slowed or shallow breathing.

I'll be honest, this is mostly a theoretical concern based on test-tube work, not strong human studies, so I don't want to alarm you. Caffeine and aspirin aren't really the issue here. Still, since Bishop's Weed isn't safe to self-dose anyway, please run this by your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

2 of 2

Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone also falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS.

Bergapten, a constituent of bishop's weed, has antiplatelet activity. Theoretically, bishop's weed might have additive effects with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs and possibly increase the risk of bleeding.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

The piece of your combo pill that matters here is the aspirin. Aspirin already thins the blood by keeping platelets from sticking together. Bishop's Weed contains a compound called bergapten that, at least on paper, seems to have a mild blood-thinning effect of its own. Put the two together and you could, in theory, nudge your bleeding risk a little higher than aspirin alone.

In real life that might show up as easier bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or a cut that takes longer to stop. I want to be honest though: this warning is theoretical, based on how these compounds behave rather than on reports of people actually having problems. The hydrocodone and caffeine parts aren't really involved. Since Bishop's Weed isn't something to self-dose anyway, just run it by your pharmacist or doctor before mixing the two.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone page

“Damason-P packs three drugs into one tablet, the opioid hydrocodone, aspirin, and caffeine, so a supplement can collide with any one of them, and its list of 398 interacting ingredients earns real respect. More than 200 of those can add to aspirin's bleeding risk, while 78 can deepen the opioid's sedation.”

About Bishop's Weed

What is Bishop's Weed?

Bishop's Weed
  • Vitiligo (loss of skin color)
  • Psoriasis
  • Digestive complaints
  • Asthma and breathing problems
  • Kidney stones
  • Diuretic (increasing urine)

Bishop's Weed (Ammi majus) is a flowering plant whose seeds contain natural light-sensitizing compounds called psoralens, which have been studied mainly for skin conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis when combined with light therapy. The plant is potentially toxic and can cause severe skin and eye reactions when exposed to sunlight, so it is not something to take on your own. If you are interested in psoralen-based treatments, work with a dermatologist rather than self-treating.
