The bottom line No known interaction

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

Forget-me-not and Empagliflozin

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 Empagliflozin 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 Empagliflozin, 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 to actually watch for

What Forget-me-not Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Empagliflozin. It is the side-effect record for Forget-me-not on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Forget-me-not, this list is the first place to look.

  • Diarrhea / Vomiting Additional detail

    “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.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Forget-me-not — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Empagliflozin’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Empagliflozin column appears here.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Empagliflozin page

“Almost everything on this page can nudge blood sugar in someone taking empagliflozin (Jardiance) for type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or kidney protection, and two entries deserve genuine caution before anything else. Siberian cocklebur has caused severe low blood sugar in humans and should not be combined with any glucose-lowering medi…”

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 Empagliflozin

What Is Empagliflozin Used For?

Brand name: Jardiance

Jardiance (empagliflozin) tablets are approved for several important uses in adults. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in adults with heart failure. It also slows the progression of chronic kidney disease by reducing the risk of serious kidney decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization. In adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease, Jardiance reduces the risk of cardiovascular death.

Jardiance is also used — alongside diet and exercise — to improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes in adults and children aged 10 and older. It is not recommended for blood sugar control in type 1 diabetes (it may raise the risk of a dangerous condition called diabetic ketoacidosis) or in type 2 diabetes patients with severely reduced kidney function.
