The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Clary Sage and Omeprazole 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.

Clary Sage and Omeprazole

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 Omeprazole and Clary Sage 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 Clary Sage at all — not against Omeprazole, 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.

Clary Sage safety at a glance

Clary Sage overall Use caution Generally considered safe as a diluted essential oil for aromatherapy, but it should not be taken by mouth.
Pregnancy Avoid Often discouraged in pregnancy because it is traditionally linked to uterine activity, so avoid it.
Breastfeeding Avoid There is not enough safety information, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

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

What to actually watch for

What Omeprazole’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Clary Sage. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Omeprazole’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 5 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Kidney problems Worth acting on mentioned in 13.6% of FDA reports for Omeprazole
  • Low magnesium Worth acting on
  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Bloating or gas
  • Back pain
  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Constipation

Showing the 10 most notable of 18 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Omeprazole. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 448,293 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Omeprazole that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Clary Sage’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Clary Sage side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Clary Sage has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Omeprazole page

“Omeprazole (Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec) is an acid reducer for heartburn, reflux, and ulcers, and because it sits on pharmacy shelves next to the vitamins, people tend to assume it mixes safely with anything. This list argues otherwise, and it warrants genuine care.”

About Clary Sage

What is Clary Sage?

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Menopause symptoms
  • Aromatherapy and relaxation
  • Skin care

Clary sage is a Mediterranean herb most often used as an essential oil for aromatherapy and to ease stress or menstrual discomfort. Evidence for these uses is limited and mostly from small studies, and the oil should never be swallowed and should always be diluted before skin contact.

Salvia sclarea · Lamiaceae · Flowering tops and leaves (essential oil) · Essential oil, aromatherapy blends, diluted topical oils

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

Clary Sage: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose for clary sage, and it is not meant to be taken by mouth as a supplement.For aromatherapy, people typically add a few drops to a diffuser or dilute a small amount in a carrier oil before applying it to the skin.

About Omeprazole

What Is Omeprazole Used For?

Brand names: Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec

Omeprazole is used to treat a range of conditions where stomach acid causes problems. These include heartburn and acid reflux (GERD), erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from acid), and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It can also be used alongside antibiotics to help get rid of an H. pylori infection — a bacteria that causes ulcers.

In more serious cases, omeprazole is used to manage conditions where the stomach produces far too much acid, such as pathologic hypersecretory conditions (rare medical disorders that cause extreme acid overproduction). It is approved for adults and children one year of age and older for GERD and erosive esophagitis.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Omeprazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (448,293 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Chronic kidney disease 36,807 reports
Nausea 27,095 reports
Fatigue 26,259 reports
Diarrhea 25,668 reports
Acute kidney injury 23,964 reports
