Drug & supplement interaction

Cyclamen + Dupilumab

Dupilumab brand name: Dupixent.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cyclamen and Dupilumab 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Cyclamen and Dupilumab

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 Dupilumab and Cyclamen 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 Cyclamen at all — not against Dupilumab, 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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Cyclamen and Dupilumab May Share a Side Effect

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Diarrhea Additional detail

    Cyclamen

    “Orally, cyclamen has been reported to cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea at doses as low as 300 mg (18). Higher doses can cause poisoning, with symptoms including spasm and asphyxiation (18,553).

    Intranasally, cyclamen seems to be generally well tolerated. Side effects reported in clinical trials include nasal irritation, sneezing, and rhinorrhea.”

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dupilumab. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Cyclamen but not commonly for Dupilumab: stomach pain, vomiting and nausea.

Effects for Dupilumab come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Cyclamen come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 478,975 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dupilumab that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Overlapping uses

What Dupilumab Is Prescribed For, and What Cyclamen Has Been Studied For

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

Dupilumab is prescribed for: Dupixent (dupilumab) injection is approved for several inflammatory conditions. It treats moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients 6 months and older when topical treatments haven't worked well enough. It is also used as an add-on maintenance treatment for moderate-to-severe asthma (ages 6 and up), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ages 12 and up), and COPD with an eosinophilic phenotype in adults. Additionally, Dupixent treats eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE, a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus) in patients 1 year and older weighing at least 15 kg, prurigo nodularis (severe itchy skin nodules) in adults, chronic spontaneous urticaria (hives without a clear trigger) in patients 2 and older who haven't responded to antihistamines, bullous pemphigoid (a blistering skin disease) in adults, and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis in patients 6 and older with a history of sinus surgery.

It is not for relief of sudden or acute breathing attacks.

Cyclamen has been studied for:

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

    Cyclamen for rhinosinusitis

    Preliminary clinical research shows that using a nasal spray containing cyclamen root extract 1.3 mg per spray (Sinuforte Nasal Spray, Hartington Pharmaceutical), given as one spray in each nostril daily for 15 days, reduces facial pain, mucosal edema, and sinus opacification on CT scan when compared with placebo in adults with acute rhinosinusitis.

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 Dupilumab on your own; if you are taking Cyclamen for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

About Cyclamen

What is Cyclamen?

  • Sinus congestion (sinusitis)
  • Headache and migraine (traditional/homeopathic)
  • Menstrual complaints (traditional use)
  • Digestive complaints (traditional use)

Cyclamen is an ornamental plant whose tuber contains potentially toxic compounds called saponins. It has been studied mostly as a nasal preparation for sinus congestion, but evidence is limited and the raw plant can be poisonous, so it should not be used without professional guidance.

Cyclamen europaeum · Primulaceae · Tuber (root); sometimes leaves and flowers · Homeopathic preparations, nasal sprays/extracts (in some regions), and rarely tinctures

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

Cyclamen: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose of cyclamen for general use. Because the plant is toxic, dosing should never be guessed or self-made.If you use a commercial product, such as a nasal preparation or homeopathic remedy, follow the directions on the label exactly and do not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Cyclamen and Dupilumab Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Cyclamen with Dupilumab?
We do not list a known interaction between Cyclamen and Dupilumab. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Cyclamen and Dupilumab have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Are Cyclamen and Dupilumab used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Cyclamen in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Dupilumab is being adjusted to a target.
