Calamint and Eliglustat

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 Eliglustat and Calamint 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 Calamint at all — not against Eliglustat, 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.

Calamint safety at a glance

Calamint overall Use caution Generally considered safe in small culinary or tea amounts, but human safety data are limited, especially for the essential oil.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy because safety has not been established.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information is available, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both.

  • Heartburn
  • Migraine
  • Pain in an arm or leg
  • Bloating or gas
  • Sore throat
  • Back pain
  • A fast or pounding heartbeat
  • Cough
  • Joint pain
  • Stomach upset

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Eliglustat. Read the label on DailyMed › Calamint’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Calamint side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Calamint has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Eliglustat page

“Grapefruit is the single riskiest everyday item for anyone taking eliglustat (Cerdelga) for Gaucher disease, and this list as a whole warrants genuine care. Eliglustat is cleared by the CYP3A4 enzyme, and 121 of the 146 ingredients here work through that pathway, either raising the drug's level, which can stress the heart's rhythm, or…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Calamint is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Calamint reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 27, 2026. The Calamint and Eliglustat records this page draws on were last updated June 20, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Calamint

What is Calamint?

  • Digestive upset and gas
  • Coughs and respiratory complaints
  • Mild anxiety or as a calming tea
  • Culinary flavoring
  • Topical or aromatic uses

Calamint is an aromatic, mint-family herb used traditionally as a tea for digestion, coughs, and general wellness, but there is very little human research to confirm any health benefits. It is most often used in small culinary amounts; concentrated forms and the essential oil should be used cautiously, and it is best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data.

Calamintha nepeta · Lamiaceae · Leaves, flowering tops, and essential oil · Tea (infusion), dried herb, essential oil, occasionally tinctures

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

Calamint: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for calamint, because it has not been well studied in people. Traditionally it is used as a mild tea made from a small amount of the dried leaves or flowering tops steeped in hot water.If you choose to use a calamint product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the suggested amount. The essential oil is very concentrated and should not be swallowed unless directed by a qualified professional.

About Eliglustat

What Is Eliglustat Used For?

Brand name: Cerdelga

Cerdelga (eliglustat) is used for the long-term treatment of Gaucher disease type 1 in adults. Gaucher disease type 1 is a genetic condition in which a fatty substance called glucosylceramide builds up in organs like the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, causing them to enlarge and leading to problems like anemia and low platelet counts.

Cerdelga is only appropriate for adults whose bodies process the drug in a predictable way — specifically those identified as CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), or poor metabolizers (PMs) by an FDA-cleared genetic test. People who are CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizers may not reach drug levels high enough to benefit, and Cerdelga is not recommended for them.
