Drug & supplement interaction

Bogbean + Quinapril

Quinapril brand names: Accupril, Accupro.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Bogbean and Quinapril 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Bogbean and Quinapril

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 Quinapril and Bogbean 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 Bogbean at all — not against Quinapril, 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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Bogbean and Quinapril May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Diarrhea / Vomiting / Nausea Additional detail

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Quinapril

This page covers Bogbean only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Quinapril page lists 166 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), American Mistletoe (major), Asarabacca (major) and Siberian Cocklebur (major).

By severity: 6 major · 136 moderate · 24 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Quinapril page

“Quinapril (Accupril) lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, and that is where most of the 166 supplements and herbs on this list collide with it. The bulk either push its blood-pressure-lowering effect too far or work against it, and with six entries rated major, this page deserves a careful read, not a skim.”

About Bogbean

What is Bogbean?

  • Rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain
  • Poor appetite and digestive upset
  • Bitter tonic
  • Scurvy (traditional)
  • Fever (traditional)

Bogbean is a wetland plant whose bitter leaves have long been used in folk medicine for joint pain, poor appetite, and digestion. Good-quality human studies are lacking, so its benefits are unproven, and large amounts can upset the stomach. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Menyanthes trifoliata · Menyanthaceae · Leaves (and sometimes the roots/rhizome) · Tea, tincture, liquid extract, capsules, dried herb

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

Bogbean: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for bogbean. Traditional use typically involves small amounts of the dried leaf as a tea or a measured dose of tincture or extract.Because strengths vary widely between products, the safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount. More is not better with this bitter herb, since larger doses are more likely to cause stomach upset.

Taking Bogbean and Quinapril Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Bogbean with Quinapril?
We do not list a known interaction between Bogbean and Quinapril. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Bogbean and Quinapril have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Does Quinapril interact with any supplements?
Yes. Quinapril has documented interactions with 166 supplements in our database — Bogbean is not one of them. The Quinapril interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
