We found no known interaction between Collard and Pimozide in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist.

Collard and Pimozide

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 Pimozide and Collard 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Pimozide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pimozide is filed under 6 classifications — including antipsychotic drugs, qt interval-prolonging drugs, anticholinergic drugs. Collard has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Pimozide’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 Pimozide’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Collard. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pimozide’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Weight gain mentioned in 8.0% of FDA reports for Pimozide
  • Joint or muscle stiffness

Showing the 10 most notable of 35 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 Pimozide. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 464 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pimozide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Collard’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Collard side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Collard has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pimozide page

“Pimozide (Orap), prescribed mainly for severe tics in Tourette syndrome, is a medicine I ask patients to check every supplement against before adding it. Twelve of the 180 ingredients on file rate major, and most of the risk runs through one pathway: 121 of them affect CYP3A4, the enzyme that clears pimozide.”

About Collard

What is Collard?

  • General nutrition and vitamin source
  • Bone health
  • Heart health support
  • Digestive fiber
  • Antioxidant intake

Collard is a leafy green vegetable in the cabbage family that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and is best thought of as a nutritious food rather than a medicine. Eating it as part of a balanced diet is healthy for most people, but there is little high-quality research on collard as a concentrated supplement. If you take blood thinners or have kidney concerns, talk with your pharmacist or doctor because of its vitamin K and oxalate content.

Brassica oleracea var. viridis · Brassicaceae · Leaves · Fresh or cooked leaves, frozen greens; occasionally powders or capsules

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

Collard: dosing

There is no established medicinal dose for collard. As a food, it can be enjoyed in normal serving sizes as part of a varied diet, just like other vegetables.If you choose a collard powder or capsule, there is no standardized dose, so follow the directions on the product label.
