Interaction report

Bishop's Weed and Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate

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 Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate and Bishop's Weed 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 Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate is filed under 2 classifications — immunosuppressants, p-glycoprotein substrates. Bishop's Weed has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate), cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates (moderate) and photosensitizing drugs (moderate) — and none of Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate’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.

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.

Ammi majus · Apiaceae · Seeds (fruit) and the extracted compounds (furanocoumarins) · Seed extracts, topical preparations, and isolated compounds (such as standardized psoralens used in some skin treatments)

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

Bishop's Weed: dosing

There is no established, standardized over-the-counter dose for Bishop's Weed, and it is not recommended as a do-it-yourself supplement. Do not increase the dose or combine it with sun or tanning beds on your own.
