Black Horehound + Mipomersen Sodium
Mipomersen Sodium brand name: Kynamro.
We found no known interaction between Black Horehound and Mipomersen Sodium 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.
Black Horehound and Mipomersen Sodium
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 Mipomersen Sodium 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.
Black Horehound safety at a glance
Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Mipomersen Sodium
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Mipomersen Sodium is filed under a single classification — hepatotoxic drugs. Black Horehound has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being dopamine agonists (moderate) — and none of Mipomersen Sodium’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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mipomersen Sodium page
“Kynamro (mipomersen sodium) treats a severe inherited cholesterol disorder, and it already carries a serious warning about liver injury on its own. All 38 supplements and herbs on this page interact the same way, by adding their own liver stress to a medicine that is hard on that organ to begin with, so approach this list with genuine…”

About Black Horehound
What is 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.

About Mipomersen Injection
What Is Mipomersen Injection Used For?
Brand name: Kynamro
-
Mipomersen injection is used to decrease levels of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood in people who have homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH; a rare inherited condition that causes very high levels of cholesterol in the blood, increasing the risk of serious heart disease). Some people with HoFH may be treated with LDL apheresis (a procedure that removes LDL from the blood), but mipomersen injection should not be used along with this treatment. Mipomersen injection should not be used to decrease cholesterol levels in people who do not have HoFH. Mipomersen injection is in a class of medications called antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) inhibitors. It works by preventing certain fatty substances from forming in the body.
