Goutweed and Rimegepant

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 Rimegepant and Goutweed 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 Goutweed at all — not against Rimegepant, 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.

Goutweed safety at a glance

Goutweed overall Use caution Young leaves are eaten as food, but medicinal use is poorly studied and high doses may cause stomach upset.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid medicinal use.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What Rimegepant’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Goutweed. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Rimegepant’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. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Migraine
  • Stomach upset
  • Stomach pain
  • A skin rash
  • Nausea

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Rimegepant. Read the label on DailyMed › Goutweed’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Goutweed side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Goutweed has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Rimegepant page

“Rimegepant (Nurtec ODT), the dissolving migraine tablet, calls for real care alongside supplements, and three entries deserve your attention before anything else. Grapefruit can block the CYP3A4 enzyme that clears rimegepant, raising its blood levels and the chance of side effects.”

About Goutweed

What is Goutweed?

Goutweed
  • Gout
  • Joint pain and rheumatism
  • Kidney and bladder complaints
  • Mild digestive upset
  • Wound and skin compresses

Goutweed is a common European wild plant traditionally used for gout, joint pain, and rheumatism, but there is very little human research to show it actually works for these conditions. Young leaves are eaten as a wild green in some areas, but using it as a medicine is not well studied, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Aegopodium podagraria · Apiaceae · Leaves, young shoots, and aerial parts (sometimes roots) · Tea, fresh young leaves (food), tincture, poultice, dried herb

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

Goutweed: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for goutweed. Traditional use varies widely, and the strength of teas, tinctures, and supplements can differ a lot between products.If you choose to use a goutweed product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.
