Common Stonecrop and Empagliflozin

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 Empagliflozin 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 Empagliflozin, 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 Empagliflozin. 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 Empagliflozin’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Empagliflozin column appears here.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Empagliflozin page

“Almost everything on this page can nudge blood sugar in someone taking empagliflozin (Jardiance) for type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or kidney protection, and two entries deserve genuine caution before anything else. Siberian cocklebur has caused severe low blood sugar in humans and should not be combined with any glucose-lowering medi…”

About Common Stonecrop

What is Common Stonecrop?

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.

About Empagliflozin

What Is Empagliflozin Used For?

Brand name: Jardiance

Jardiance (empagliflozin) tablets are approved for several important uses in adults. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in adults with heart failure. It also slows the progression of chronic kidney disease by reducing the risk of serious kidney decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization. In adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease, Jardiance reduces the risk of cardiovascular death.

Jardiance is also used — alongside diet and exercise — to improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes in adults and children aged 10 and older. It is not recommended for blood sugar control in type 1 diabetes (it may raise the risk of a dangerous condition called diabetic ketoacidosis) or in type 2 diabetes patients with severely reduced kidney function.
