Globemallow and Pitolisant Hydrochloride

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 Pitolisant Hydrochloride and Globemallow 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 Globemallow at all — not against Pitolisant Hydrochloride, 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 Pitolisant Hydrochloride’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Globemallow. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pitolisant Hydrochloride’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Vivid dreams or nightmares
  • Anxiety or restlessness mentioned in 11.1% of FDA reports for Pitolisant Hydrochloride

Showing the 10 most notable of 31 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Pitolisant Hydrochloride. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 2,018 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pitolisant Hydrochloride that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Globemallow’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Globemallow side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Globemallow has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pitolisant Hydrochloride page

“Pitolisant (Wakix) keeps people with narcolepsy awake through the day, and it only works when a steady amount reaches the bloodstream. Most of the 158 supplement ingredients on this page can disturb exactly that, so this is a list worth slowing down for.”

About Globemallow

What is Globemallow?

  • Soothing skin irritation
  • Cough and sore throat
  • Digestive upset
  • Minor wounds and inflammation
  • Mouth and throat soothing

Globemallow refers to plants in the genus Sphaeralcea, which have a long history of traditional use among Indigenous peoples of the Americas, mainly as a soothing remedy for skin, throat, and digestive complaints. There is very little modern scientific research on its safety or effectiveness, so its benefits remain unproven. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medicines.

Sphaeralcea · Malvaceae · Leaves, flowers, roots, and whole aerial parts · Tea, poultice, dried herb, infusion

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

About Pitolisant

What Is Pitolisant Used For?

Brand name: Wakix

Wakix (pitolisant) is used to treat two hallmark problems of narcolepsy: excessive daytime sleepiness (feeling overwhelmingly tired and unable to stay awake during the day) and cataplexy (sudden episodes of muscle weakness or loss of muscle control, often triggered by emotion). It is approved for adults and children 6 years of age and older.

Both uses are specific to Wakix tablets taken by mouth. The drug is not approved for sleepiness or cataplexy caused by conditions other than narcolepsy.
