Black Horehound and Berotralstat Hydrochloride

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 Berotralstat Hydrochloride and Black Horehound 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 Berotralstat Hydrochloride

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Berotralstat Hydrochloride is filed under 5 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) inhibitors, qt interval-prolonging drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inhibitors. Black Horehound has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being dopamine agonists (moderate) — and none of Berotralstat Hydrochloride’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.

How to take them

Some Berotralstat Hydrochloride Products Have a Food Rule — Black Horehound Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Berotralstat Hydrochloride says to take it with food. If you take Black Horehound on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Berotralstat Hydrochloride 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 Berotralstat Hydrochloride 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 Recommended dosage in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older: 150 mg capsule orally once daily with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Berotralstat Hydrochloride — 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.

About Black Horehound

What is Black Horehound?

Black Horehound
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Anxiety and nervous tension
  • Sleep problems
  • Mild digestive upset
  • Coughs and respiratory complaints

Black horehound is a traditional European herb mainly used for nausea, mild anxiety, and digestive upset, but high-quality human studies are lacking, so its effectiveness is largely unproven. It has a strong, unpleasant smell and taste, and its safety has not been well studied, so it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding and used cautiously by everyone else.

Ballota nigra · Lamiaceae · Above-ground parts (flowering tops and leaves) · Tea (infusion), liquid extract, tincture, capsules

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

Black Horehound: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for black horehound. Traditional use has involved teas made from the dried herb and liquid extracts or tinctures, but reliable dosing from quality human studies is not available.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.
