Boldo and Aspirin, Omeprazole

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Aspirin, Omeprazole

Aspirin, Omeprazole falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Boldo interacts with.

Theoretically, taking boldo with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
Animal and in vitro research shows that boldine, a constituent of boldo, has antiplatelet activity. In one case report, an adult taking a combination of boldo and fenugreek with warfarin experienced an increase in international normalized ratio (INR); however, it is unclear if this effect was due to boldo, fenugreek, the combination, or another factor.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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

Here's the thing to know about this combo: your Yosprala already contains aspirin, which keeps platelets from clumping together to form clots. Boldo seems to do a little of that same thing on its own, at least in lab and animal studies. So stacking them could, in theory, nudge your bleeding risk a bit higher than the aspirin alone.

In real life that might look like easier bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or stomach upset (even though the omeprazole half is there to protect your stomach lining). I want to be honest, though: the evidence here is thin, mostly anecdotal, and the one human report was tangled up with other supplements. So don't panic. Just loop in your pharmacist or doctor before adding boldo, especially since boldo itself can stress the liver.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aspirin, Omeprazole page

“Yosprala pairs aspirin, a blood thinner, with omeprazole, an acid reducer whose job is to shield the stomach from that aspirin, so this list carries real weight and warrants genuine care. Of the 318 supplements and herbs on file, nine are rated major, and understanding those first matters more than reading the rest.”

About Boldo

What is Boldo?

Boldo
  • Indigestion and bloating
  • Mild constipation
  • Liver and gallbladder support
  • Appetite stimulation
  • Urinary complaints

Boldo is a South American shrub whose leaves are traditionally used for digestive and gallbladder complaints, but good human evidence is very limited. The leaves and oil contain ascaridole, which can be toxic to the liver, so only ascaridole-free products should be used and only for short periods. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
