Cilantro + Lioresal

Lioresal brand name: Lioresal Injection.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Oct 4, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cilantro and Lioresal 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.

Interaction report

Cilantro and Lioresal

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 Lioresal and Cilantro 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.

Cilantro safety at a glance

Cilantro overall Generally safe Cilantro is generally safe when eaten as a food, but concentrated supplements are less studied.
Pregnancy Use caution Food amounts are likely fine, but medicinal or supplement doses lack safety data and should be avoided.
Breastfeeding Use caution Food amounts are likely fine, but there is not enough information on concentrated supplements.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Lioresal

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lioresal is filed under 3 classifications — baclofen, skeletal muscle relaxants, seizure threshold lowering drugs. Cilantro has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and photosensitizing drugs (moderate) — and none of Lioresal’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.

Keep it in perspective

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Cilantro and Lioresal 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. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dehydration / Low mood Worth acting on Additional detail

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Lioresal

This page covers Cilantro only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Lioresal page lists 10 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Procaine (major), Biofeedback (moderate), Dendrobium (moderate), Ginkgo (moderate) and Lithium (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 9 moderate.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lioresal page

“Lioresal is baclofen, a muscle relaxant prescribed for spasticity, and I would treat its supplement list with genuine care. Of the ten ingredients on file, six, including everyday picks like melatonin and ginkgo, may lower the seizure threshold, an added worry with a drug whose abrupt changes can already provoke seizures.”

About Cilantro

What is Cilantro?

  • Digestive upset and bloating
  • Antimicrobial support
  • Antioxidant support
  • Heavy metal 'detox' (chelation) claims
  • Culinary flavoring

Cilantro is the leafy part of the Coriandrum sativum plant and is widely eaten as a food, where it is considered safe for most people. While it has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in lab studies, strong human evidence for any specific health benefit is lacking, and popular 'detox' claims are not well supported. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated cilantro supplements or essential oil.

Coriandrum sativum · Apiaceae · Leaves, stems, seeds (coriander), and essential oil · Fresh herb, dried herb, seeds, capsules, extracts, essential oil, tea

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

Cilantro: dosing

There is no standardized medicinal dose for cilantro. As a food, it is simply used to taste in cooking, which is considered safe for most people.For supplements such as capsules, extracts, or teas, follow the directions on the product label, since strengths vary widely between products. Essential oil is highly concentrated and should not be taken by mouth unless directed by a qualified professional.

About Baclofen

What Is Baclofen Used For?

Brand name: Lioresal Injection

Baclofen treats spasticity, which means stiff, tight muscles with spasms. Oral baclofen (tablets, Baclofen oral solution, Ozobax, Baclofen oral suspension, Fleqsuvy, Lyvispah) is used for spasticity from multiple sclerosis, especially flexor spasms with pain, clonus (rhythmic jerking) and muscle rigidity. It may also help some people with spinal cord injuries and other spinal cord diseases.

Intrathecal baclofen (Gablofen, Lioresal Intrathecal and other baclofen injections) is used for severe spasticity. It is given into the fluid around the spinal cord, usually through an implanted pump. It is not for skeletal muscle spasm from rheumatic disorders, and baclofen tablets are not recommended for stroke, cerebral palsy or Parkinson’s disease.

Taking Cilantro and Lioresal Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Cilantro with Lioresal?
We do not list a known interaction between Cilantro and Lioresal. 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 Cilantro and Lioresal have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 8 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.
How was the Cilantro and Lioresal combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Lioresal is filed under 3 classifications, and Cilantro has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Lioresal's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Cilantro interact with any other medications?
Yes. Cilantro has 434 documented drug interactions in our database — Lioresal is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Lioresal interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lioresal has documented interactions with 10 supplements in our database — Cilantro is not one of them. The Lioresal interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
