The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Common Stonecrop and Bimatoprost 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.

Interaction report

Common Stonecrop and Bimatoprost

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 Bimatoprost and Common Stonecrop 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 Common Stonecrop at all — not against Bimatoprost, 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.

Common Stonecrop safety at a glance

Common Stonecrop overall Use caution Limited safety data exist, and internal use can cause irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety information, so avoid use during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it is best to avoid it.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

What Common Stonecrop Itself Has Been Linked To

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

Diarrhea / Vomiting Additional detail
“Orally, common stonecrop can cause vomiting and diarrhea when consumed in very large amounts (18).”

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

Overlapping uses

What Bimatoprost Is Prescribed For, and What Common Stonecrop Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Bimatoprost is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Common Stonecrop is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Bimatoprost is prescribed for: Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution is used to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes — a condition where lashes are thin, sparse, or insufficient. It works by increasing eyelash growth, including their length, thickness, and darkness. This use applies to bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%, available as Latisse and as the generic ophthalmic solution. If you stop using bimatoprost, your lashes are expected to gradually return to how they looked before treatment.

Common Stonecrop has been studied for:

Hypertension studied, not established Common Stonecrop has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

Common Stonecrop for hypertension

Although there has been interest in using oral common stonecrop for hypertension, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of common stonecrop for this purpose.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Bimatoprost on your own; if you are taking Common Stonecrop for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Bimatoprost

This page covers Common Stonecrop only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Bimatoprost page lists 3 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) (moderate), Turpentine Oil (moderate) and Alchemilla (minor).

By severity: 2 moderate · 1 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Bimatoprost page

“Bimatoprost, the glaucoma medicine sold as Lumigan drops and the Durysta implant, has one of the shortest supplement lists I review, and its concern is literally skin deep. All three entries are products applied to the body, not swallowed, and none rises above a moderate rating.”

About Common Stonecrop

What is Common Stonecrop?

Wounds and skin irritation
Eczema and other skin conditions
Constipation (laxative use)
Urinary and bladder complaints
High blood pressure (folk use)

Common Stonecrop (Sedum acre) is a small succulent with a long history in European folk medicine, mostly applied to the skin or used as a laxative. There is very little modern scientific evidence to support any of its uses, and the plant can be irritating and may cause vomiting or diarrhea when swallowed, so it should be used with caution and ideally avoided internally.

Sedum acre · Crassulaceae · Above-ground parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops), used fresh or dried · Fresh plant, dried herb, topical preparations, and rarely teas or tinctures

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

Common Stonecrop: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for Common Stonecrop. Because it has not been studied in proper clinical trials, safe and effective amounts are simply not known.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.
