Frostwort and Ulipristal Acetate

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 Ulipristal Acetate and Frostwort 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 Frostwort at all — not against Ulipristal Acetate, 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 Ulipristal Acetate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Frostwort. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ulipristal Acetate’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. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Acne
  • Stomach pain mentioned in 5.6% of FDA reports for Ulipristal Acetate
  • Tiredness
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea mentioned in 7.8% of FDA reports for Ulipristal Acetate
  • Headache mentioned in 5.4% of FDA reports for Ulipristal Acetate
  • A skin rash

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ulipristal Acetate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 498 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ulipristal Acetate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Frostwort’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Frostwort side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Frostwort 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. Frostwort 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 Frostwort reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Frostwort and Ulipristal Acetate 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 Frostwort

What is Frostwort?

  • Sore throat and mouth irritation
  • Diarrhea
  • Skin conditions and ulcers (topical)
  • Scrofula (historical/traditional use)
  • General astringent tonic

Frostwort is a North American wildflower used in traditional and folk herbal medicine, mainly as an astringent for sore throats, diarrhea, and skin problems. There is very little modern scientific research to confirm that it works or to define a safe dose, so it should be used cautiously and only after talking with a healthcare professional.

Helianthemum canadense · Cistaceae · Whole plant (leaves and aerial parts) · Dried herb, tea (infusion), tincture, sometimes topical preparations

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

Frostwort: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for frostwort. Traditional use varied widely and was not based on measured, tested amounts.If you choose to use a frostwort product, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them.
