Interaction report

Cudweed and Sacubitril, Valsartan

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 Sacubitril, Valsartan and Cudweed 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.

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Sacubitril, Valsartan

Cudweed has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Sacubitril, Valsartan’s classifications are among them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Sacubitril, Valsartan page

“Entresto (sacubitril and valsartan) is a heart failure medicine, and heart failure patients tend to be heavy supplement users, reaching for fish oil, potassium, and herbal blood-pressure remedies. That instinct carries real risk here.”

About Cudweed

What is Cudweed?

  • Mouth and throat irritation
  • Digestive upset
  • Mild high blood pressure (traditional)
  • Minor wounds and skin irritation
  • Coughs and respiratory complaints

Cudweed is a small, woolly-leaved plant used in traditional herbal medicine, mainly as a tea or gargle for sore throats, digestive upset, and minor skin problems. There is very little modern scientific evidence to confirm that it works for any condition, and safety data are limited, so it is best used cautiously and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Gnaphalium uliginosum · Asteraceae · Aerial parts (flowering tops, leaves, and stems) · Tea (infusion), tincture, dried herb

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

Cudweed: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for cudweed. It has not been studied enough to know a safe and effective amount, and traditional preparations vary.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Valsartan and Sacubitril

What Is Valsartan and Sacubitril Used For?

Brand name: Entresto

Sacubitril and valsartan is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in adult patients with chronic heart failure. The benefit is most clearly seen in patients whose heart pumps with a lower-than-normal ejection fraction (the percentage of blood the heart pushes out with each beat).

It is also approved to treat symptomatic heart failure with reduced left ventricular function in children aged 1 year and older. In pediatric patients, it lowers a blood marker of heart stress (NT-proBNP) and is expected to improve heart outcomes.
