Columbine + Phendimetrazine
Phendimetrazine brand names: Plegine, Metra, Weightrol.
We found no known interaction between Columbine and Phendimetrazine 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.
Columbine and Phendimetrazine
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 Phendimetrazine and Columbine 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 Columbine at all — not against Phendimetrazine, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Phendimetrazine page
“Of the 17 supplements on file for phendimetrazine, an appetite-suppressant stimulant prescribed short term for weight loss, activated charcoal is the one that demands real caution. Charcoal binds medications in the gut and can sharply cut how much of a drug your body absorbs, leaving you with less appetite control than your prescriptio…”

Where Columbine and Phendimetrazine Sit Against Everything Else
Out of every supplement and medication people look up on HelloPharmacist, here is where these two land this week — and which way each has been moving.
#1,224 of 1,452 supplements looked up here in the last 7 days
#334 of 2,830 medications looked up here in the last 7 days
Position among everything looked up on this site, not a measure of how commonly either one is used or how important it is. A supplement can climb this list because of a news story. It counts every request to the page, automated ones included, and nothing here identifies anyone.
Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Columbine is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Columbine reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Columbine and Phendimetrazine records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About Columbine
What is Columbine?
- Skin sores and rashes (traditional)
- Sore throat and mouth irritation (traditional)
- Minor wounds (traditional, topical)
- General folk remedy
Columbine is a flowering plant once used in traditional folk medicine, but there is very little modern scientific evidence that it works for any health condition. It belongs to the buttercup family, which contains potentially toxic compounds, so it is not recommended as a supplement and the seeds and roots in particular can be poisonous. If you are considering any herbal product, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Aquilegia vulgaris · Ranunculaceae · Flowers, leaves, and root (used historically) · Rarely used today; historically prepared as teas, poultices, or tinctures
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Columbine is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Columbine record says about it on its own.
Columbine: dosing
There is no established or recommended dose for columbine. It is not a standard supplement, and safe amounts have not been determined through scientific study.Because of its potential toxicity, we do not recommend taking columbine. If you come across a product that contains it, follow the product label only after checking with a pharmacist or doctor, and do not exceed any directions given.

About Phendimetrazine
What Is Phendimetrazine Used For?
Brand names: Plegine, Metra, Weightrol
Phendimetrazine tartrate is used to help manage exogenous obesity (excess body weight from outside causes like diet and lifestyle) as a short-term addition to a calorie-restricted diet. It is intended for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher when other risk factors — such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol — are also present.
It is approved for use as monotherapy only, meaning it must not be combined with other weight-loss drugs or stimulants. Both the tablet form and the extended-release capsule form are approved for this purpose. This medication is meant to be used for only a few weeks as part of a broader weight-management plan.
