Drug & supplement interaction

Forget-me-not + Brexpiprazole

Brexpiprazole brand name: Rexulti.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Forget-me-not and Brexpiprazole 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.

Forget-me-not and Brexpiprazole

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 Brexpiprazole and Forget-me-not 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 Forget-me-not at all — not against Brexpiprazole, 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 Forget-me-not and Brexpiprazole 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

    Forget-me-not

    “Orally, exposure to hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) can cause veno-occlusive disease, lung toxicity, and cancer. Symptoms of acute veno-occlusive disease include colicky pains in epigastrium, vomiting and diarrhea, and ascites formation within several days. Enlargement and induration of the liver occurs within a few weeks.”

Reported for Forget-me-not but not commonly for Brexpiprazole: vomiting.

Effects for Brexpiprazole come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Forget-me-not come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 16,505 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Brexpiprazole 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 Forget-me-not

What is Forget-me-not?

  • Respiratory complaints (cough, bronchitis)
  • Nosebleeds and minor bleeding (traditional)
  • Eye complaints (folk use)
  • Skin and wound care (topical, traditional)
  • General tonic in folk medicine

Forget-me-not (Myosotis) is a small flowering plant used in folk medicine, mostly for coughs and minor ailments, but there is very little scientific research to support any health benefit. Because it belongs to a plant family that can contain potentially liver-harming compounds, and because safety data are lacking, it is best used cautiously, if at all, and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Myosotis scorpioides · Boraginaceae · Aerial parts (flowers, leaves, and stems) · Tea, tincture, dried herb, occasionally topical preparations

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

Forget-me-not: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for forget-me-not. It has not been studied enough to know a safe and effective amount.If you choose to use a product that contains it, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Brexpiprazole

What Is Brexpiprazole Used For?

Brand name: Rexulti

Brexpiprazole tablets are approved for two uses in adults: as an add-on (adjunctive) treatment alongside antidepressants for major depressive disorder (MDD), and as a treatment for schizophrenia. These uses apply to both the generic brexpiprazole tablets and Rexulti.

Rexulti has one additional approved use: treating agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease in adults. Rexulti is also approved for schizophrenia in adolescents ages 13 and older. Note that Rexulti is not approved for dementia-related psychosis without agitation from Alzheimer's disease, and it is not meant to be used on an as-needed basis for Alzheimer's-related agitation.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Brexpiprazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (16,505 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Weight increased 1,702 reports

Taking Forget-me-not and Brexpiprazole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Forget-me-not with Brexpiprazole?
We do not list a known interaction between Forget-me-not and Brexpiprazole. 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 Forget-me-not and Brexpiprazole 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.
Does Brexpiprazole interact with any supplements?
Yes. Brexpiprazole has documented interactions with 177 supplements in our database — Forget-me-not is not one of them. The Brexpiprazole interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
