Forget-me-not + Rifapentine
Rifapentine brand name: Priftin.
We found no known interaction between Forget-me-not and Rifapentine 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 Rifapentine states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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 Rifapentine
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 Rifapentine 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 Rifapentine, 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.

Some Rifapentine Products Have a Food Rule — Forget-me-not Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Rifapentine says to take it with food. If you take Forget-me-not on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Rifapentine 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 Rifapentine 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.
( 2.2 ) Take with food.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Rifapentine — 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 Rifapentine
This page covers Forget-me-not only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Rifapentine page lists 64 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Alkanna (moderate), Alpine Ragwort (moderate), Bacillus Coagulans (moderate) and Bacillus Subtilis (moderate).
By severity: 1 major · 53 moderate · 10 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Rifapentine page
“Rifapentine (Priftin) treats tuberculosis and is often dosed just once or twice a week, so a single blunted dose costs more than it would with a daily pill. That is why I read this list of 64 interacting supplements as a real warning rather than routine fine print.”

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

About Rifapentine
What Is Rifapentine Used For?
Brand name: Priftin
Rifapentine tablets — sold as Priftin and as rifapentine tablets — are used to treat two forms of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For active pulmonary TB (a live TB infection in the lungs), it is approved for adults and children 12 years and older. It must always be combined with other anti-TB drugs — never taken alone.
For latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) — where TB bacteria are in the body but not yet causing illness — it is approved for adults and children 2 years and older who are at high risk of the infection becoming active. For LTBI, it is always taken together with isoniazid, once weekly for 12 weeks. Active TB disease must be ruled out before starting LTBI treatment.
