Clematis Recta + Palovarotene

Palovarotene brand name: Sohonos.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Clematis Recta and Palovarotene 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 label for Palovarotene states a food rule worth keeping to.

Clematis Recta and Palovarotene

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 Palovarotene and Clematis Recta 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 Clematis Recta at all — not against Palovarotene, 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.

What to actually watch for

What Clematis Recta Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Palovarotene. It is the side-effect record for Clematis Recta on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Clematis Recta, this list is the first place to look.

  • Diarrhea Additional detail

    “Orally, fresh Clematis recta can cause colic, diarrhea, and severe irritation to the gastrointestinal tract (18).”

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

How to take them

Some Palovarotene Products Have a Food Rule — Clematis Recta Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Palovarotene says to take it with food. If you take Clematis Recta on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Palovarotene with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Palovarotene products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

Refer to Table 1 in Full Prescribing Information for complete pediatric dosing ( 2.2 ) Take SOHONOS with food preferably at same time each day ( 2.3 ).

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Palovarotene — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. See the Palovarotene drug page ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Palovarotene page

“Palovarotene (Sohonos) treats fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a rare disease where soft tissue gradually turns to bone, and because it is cleared almost entirely by one liver enzyme, CYP3A4, supplement choices genuinely matter here. Three of the 138 ingredients on record rate major: grapefruit can drive palovarotene levels and i…”

About Clematis Recta

What is Clematis Recta?

  • Skin complaints and eruptions
  • Swollen or tender lymph glands
  • Urinary discomfort
  • Nerve pain
  • Men's groin and testicular discomfort (traditional homeopathic use)

Clematis recta is a flowering plant in the buttercup family that is mostly sold today as a homeopathic remedy. The fresh plant is toxic and irritating, and there is no reliable human evidence that it treats any condition, so it should be used cautiously and only under professional guidance.

Clematis recta · Ranunculaceae · Fresh leaves and stems (aerial parts), usually gathered before flowering · Homeopathic pellets, dilutions, and mother tinctures; rarely as topical preparations

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

Clematis Recta: dosing

There is no established standard dose for Clematis recta. The raw plant is not recommended at all because it is toxic and irritating.When sold as a homeopathic remedy, it comes in standardized dilutions and potencies set by the manufacturer.
