Cyclamen + Ibuprofen lysine

Ibuprofen lysine brand name: NeoProfen.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cyclamen and Ibuprofen lysine 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 Ibuprofen lysine

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 Ibuprofen lysine 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 Ibuprofen lysine, 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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Cyclamen and Ibuprofen lysine May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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.

  • Vomiting / Nausea 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.”

    Ibuprofen lysine

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

Reported for Cyclamen but not commonly for Ibuprofen lysine: stomach pain and diarrhea.

Effects for Ibuprofen lysine 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 564 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ibuprofen lysine 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.

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.

About Ibuprofen

What Is Ibuprofen Used For?

Brand name: NeoProfen

Oral ibuprofen products (tablets, coated tablets, and liquid-filled capsules) are used to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains from headache, backache, toothache, muscular aches, menstrual cramps, minor arthritis pain, and the common cold, and to temporarily reduce fever. The oral prescription tablet (Ibu) is also indicated for the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, mild to moderate pain, and primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods).

Caldolor, an intravenous (IV) form, is approved for adults and children 3 months and older to manage mild to moderate pain, to manage moderate to severe pain alongside opioid pain medicines, and to reduce fever. A separate intravenous solution, Ibuprofen Lysine, is used specifically in premature infants to close a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) — an abnormal blood vessel connection near the heart — when standard medical management has not worked.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ibuprofen lysine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (564 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia 113 reports
