English Horsemint + Clofazimine
Clofazimine brand name: Lamprene.
We found no known interaction between English Horsemint and Clofazimine 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 label for Clofazimine states a food rule worth keeping to.
English Horsemint and Clofazimine
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 Clofazimine and English Horsemint 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 English Horsemint at all — not against Clofazimine, 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.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Clofazimine Products Have a Food Rule — English Horsemint Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Clofazimine says to take it with food. If you take English Horsemint on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Clofazimine with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Clofazimine products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For dapsone-sensitive lepromatous leprosy, 100 mg (two 50 mg capsules) daily with meals as a part of a combination regimen for at least 2 years is recommended.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Clofazimine — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.
See Every Supplement That Interacts With Clofazimine
This page covers English Horsemint only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Clofazimine page lists 64 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Alfalfa (moderate), Angelica Archangelica (moderate), Arrach (moderate) and Bacillus Coagulans (moderate).
By severity: 1 major · 52 moderate · 11 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clofazimine page
“Clofazimine (Lamprene) treats leprosy for months or years, so anything that quietly drains its blood levels deserves genuine caution. Activated charcoal is the single major-rated interaction among the 64 on file, binding the drug and cutting how much reaches your body.”

About English Horsemint
What is English Horsemint?
- Digestive upset
- Gas and bloating
- Cough and congestion
- Nausea
- Antimicrobial (traditional use)
- Headache (topical/aromatic)
English horsemint (Mentha longifolia) is a wild mint used in cooking and traditional medicine, mostly for digestive and respiratory complaints. Human evidence for these uses is limited, and most data come from lab or animal studies. It is generally considered safe in food amounts, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil should be used cautiously and avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding without medical advice.

About Clofazimine
What Is Clofazimine Used For?
Brand name: Lamprene
Lamprene (clofazimine) is used to treat lepromatous leprosy — the most severe form of leprosy (also known as Hansen's disease). This includes cases where the bacteria have become resistant to the antibiotic dapsone, and cases complicated by erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), a painful inflammatory reaction that can develop during leprosy.
Lamprene must always be used as part of a combination regimen with other anti-leprosy drugs for initial treatment — it should never be used alone at the start of therapy, to prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant to it.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Clofazimine
