Clary Sage + Propoxyphene
Propoxyphene brand names: Darvon, Prophene-65, Margesic, Davon.
We found no known interaction between Clary Sage and Propoxyphene 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 Propoxyphene
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 Propoxyphene 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 Propoxyphene, 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Propoxyphene
This page covers Clary Sage only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Propoxyphene page lists 172 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Kava (major).
By severity: 8 major · 141 moderate · 23 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Propoxyphene page
“Propoxyphene (Darvon) is an opioid painkiller, and the biggest hazard among the 172 supplement interactions on file is anything else that slows the brain and breathing. Seventy-eight of these ingredients pile on that sedation, alcohol and kava among the worst rated, and with an opioid the combination can push breathing dangerously low.”

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 Acetaminophen, Butalbital, and Caffeine
What Is Acetaminophen, Butalbital, and Caffeine Used For?
Brand names: Darvon, Prophene-65, Margesic, Davon
This three-ingredient combination — butalbital, acetaminophen, and caffeine — is used to relieve the symptoms of tension headache (also called muscle contraction headache). All supported products, including tablets, capsules, and oral solution, share this same approved use.
It is worth knowing that evidence for using this combination to treat repeated, frequent tension headaches over time is limited. Because butalbital can be habit-forming, extended or repeated use is not recommended.
