The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cilantro and Mavacamten 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.

Interaction report

Cilantro and Mavacamten

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 Mavacamten 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 Mavacamten

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Mavacamten is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Cilantro has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and photosensitizing drugs (moderate) — and none of Mavacamten’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.

What to actually watch for

What Cilantro Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Mavacamten. It is the side-effect record for Cilantro on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Cilantro, this list is the first place to look. 3 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dehydration / Low mood Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, cilantro extract has been associated with a case of endocrine toxicity. A case report describes severe diarrhea, stomach pain, skin darkness, depressed mood, amenorrhea, and dehydration following consumption of 200 mL of a 10% cilantro extract for 7 days.”

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Topically, cilantro has been reported to cause contact dermatitis. In sensitive individuals, it has also been reported to cause anaphylaxis.”

One case report describes a 52 year-old man who experienced diffuse urticaria following a single ingestion of cilantro, followed by severe angioedema of the face, urticaria, and laryngeal edema following a second ingestion of cilantro. Treatment consisted of treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, diphenhydramine, and famotidine.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Cilantro — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Mavacamten’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Mavacamten column appears here.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Mavacamten

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 100 moderate · 40 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mavacamten page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would set aside for anyone taking mavacamten (Camzyos), the medicine for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It blocks CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that clears mavacamten, and too much of this drug can weaken the heart's pumping strength, the very problem careful dosing exists to prevent.”

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 Mavacamten
