Common Stonecrop + Ospemifene
Ospemifene brand name: Osphena.
We found no known interaction between Common Stonecrop and Ospemifene 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 label for Ospemifene states a food rule worth keeping to.
Common Stonecrop and Ospemifene
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 Ospemifene 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 Ospemifene, 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
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Ospemifene Products Have a Food Rule — Common Stonecrop Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Ospemifene says to take it with food. If you take Common Stonecrop on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Ospemifene with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Ospemifene products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
One tablet taken orally once daily with food.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ospemifene — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. See the Ospemifene drug page ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.
See Every Supplement That Interacts With Ospemifene
This page covers Common Stonecrop only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Ospemifene page lists 155 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Tiratricol (major) and Acacia Rigidula (moderate).
By severity: 4 major · 112 moderate · 39 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ospemifene page
“Women prescribed ospemifene (Osphena) for painful intercourse after menopause are often the same women reaching for St. John's wort for mood or grapefruit juice at breakfast, and both sit among the four major-rated interactions on this page, so the list deserves genuine care.”

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.
