The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Clown's Mustard Plant and Nicotine 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.

Clown's Mustard Plant and Nicotine

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 Nicotine and Clown's Mustard Plant 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 Clown's Mustard Plant at all — not against Nicotine, 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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Clown's Mustard Plant and Nicotine May Share a Side Effect

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.

  • Nausea reported in 7.7% of FDA reports for Nicotine Additional detail

    Clown's Mustard Plant

    “Orally, clown's mustard plant can cause nausea and diarrhea in some patients. Some patients might be hypersensitive to clown's mustard plant. There is one case of a facial rash following oral use.”

    Nicotine

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Nicotine, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Clown's Mustard Plant but not commonly for Nicotine: diarrhea and a skin rash.

Effects for Nicotine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Clown's Mustard Plant come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 60,670 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Nicotine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Nicotine

This page covers Clown's Mustard Plant only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Nicotine page lists 64 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Ephedra (major), Peyote (major), Rauvolfia Vomitoria (major) and Sida Cordifolia (major).

By severity: 5 major · 46 moderate · 13 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Nicotine page

“Nicotine itself is a stimulant, whether it comes from a Nicoderm CQ patch, Nicorette gum, or a Nicotrol inhaler, so treat this list with genuine care. Of the 64 supplements and herbs on file, 44 add more stimulation on top of the nicotine, which can push heart rate and blood pressure higher than either would alone.”

About Clown's Mustard Plant

What is Clown's Mustard Plant?

  • Indigestion (dyspepsia)
  • Bloating and stomach fullness
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms
  • Heartburn and stomach discomfort
  • Gas and cramping

Clown's Mustard Plant (Iberis amara) is a small flowering herb best known as one ingredient in a popular European multi-herb digestive formula used for indigestion and IBS. Most of the supportive evidence comes from studies of that combination product, not the herb by itself, so it is hard to know how well Clown's Mustard alone works. If you want to try it, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have ongoing stomach problems.

Iberis amara · Brassicaceae · Whole flowering plant (often used fresh or dried), including seeds · Liquid herbal extract (a key ingredient in multi-herb combination products), tincture

Is it safe to take Clown's Mustard Plant with Nicotine?

Do Clown's Mustard Plant and Nicotine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.
