Desert Parsley and Apixaban

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 Apixaban and Desert Parsley 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 Desert Parsley at all — not against Apixaban, 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 Apixaban’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Desert Parsley. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Apixaban’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Apixaban. Read the label on DailyMed › Desert Parsley’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Desert Parsley side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Desert Parsley has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Apixaban page

“St. John's wort can weaken apixaban (Eliquis), speeding how the body clears this blood thinner and leaving you less protected from the strokes and clots it is prescribed to prevent.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Desert Parsley is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Desert Parsley reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Desert Parsley and Apixaban records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Desert Parsley

What is Desert Parsley?

  • Respiratory infections and colds
  • Cough and congestion
  • Flu-like illness
  • Immune support
  • Sore throat

Desert Parsley (Lomatium dissectum) is a root used in Native American and Western herbal traditions, mainly for colds, coughs, and respiratory infections. Modern scientific evidence in humans is very limited, and it can cause a widespread skin rash in some people, so use it cautiously and talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Lomatium dissectum · Apiaceae · Root · Tincture, capsules, dried root, tea, glycerite extract

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

Desert Parsley: dosing

There is no established standard dose for Desert Parsley. Traditional use varies widely depending on the form, whether it is a tincture, capsule, or tea.Because a safe and effective dose has not been defined in research, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them.

About Apixaban

What Is Apixaban Used For?

Brand name: Eliquis

Apixaban is used to reduce the risk of stroke and dangerous clots traveling through the body in adults with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm not caused by a heart valve problem). It is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT — a blood clot in the leg) in adults after hip or knee replacement surgery, and to treat DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE — a blood clot in the lungs) in adults, including reducing the risk of those clots coming back.

Eliquis (the brand-name tablet and kit) is additionally approved to treat venous thromboembolism (VTE — blood clots in the veins) and reduce the risk of recurrent VTE in pediatric patients from birth and older, after at least 5 days of initial anticoagulant treatment. The generic apixaban tablet carries the adult indications only.
