Desert Parsley and Dofetilide

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 Dofetilide 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 Dofetilide, 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 Dofetilide’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 Dofetilide’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on mentioned in 14.5% of FDA reports for Dofetilide
  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on mentioned in 5.9% of FDA reports for Dofetilide
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 28 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dofetilide. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 10,450 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dofetilide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. 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.

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 20, 2026. The Desert Parsley and Dofetilide 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 Dofetilide

What Is Dofetilide Used For?

Brand name: Tikosyn

Dofetilide capsules are used in two main ways for people with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFl) — abnormal, often rapid heart rhythms. First, they can help convert these abnormal rhythms back to a normal heart rhythm. Second, once a normal rhythm has been restored, dofetilide can help maintain it and delay the time before the abnormal rhythm comes back.

Because dofetilide can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems of its own, it is reserved for patients whose atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter causes significant symptoms. It has not been shown to be effective for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (short, self-terminating episodes). The brand Tikosyn carries the same two approved uses.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Dofetilide

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (10,450 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Atrial fibrillation 1,066 reports
Dyspnea 612 reports
Dizziness 559 reports
Fatigue 531 reports
Electrocardiogram qt prolonged 446 reports
