Drug & supplement interaction

Great Plantain + Dexlansoprazole

Dexlansoprazole brand name: Dexilant Solutab.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole 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 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.

Interaction report

Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole

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 Dexlansoprazole and Great Plantain 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dexlansoprazole

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dexlansoprazole is filed under 5 classifications — including proton pump inhibitors (ppis), cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inducers, cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) substrates. Great Plantain has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being warfarin (coumadin) (moderate) — and none of Dexlansoprazole’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole May Share a Side Effect

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

About Great Plantain

What is Great Plantain?

  • Minor wounds and skin irritation
  • Insect bites and stings
  • Coughs and sore throat
  • Digestive upset
  • Mild inflammation

Great Plantain is a common weed traditionally used on the skin for minor wounds and bites, and as a tea for coughs or stomach upset. Human evidence for most of these uses is limited, though the plant appears generally well tolerated. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a health condition.

Plantago major · Plantaginaceae · Leaves and seeds · Tea, capsules, tinctures, topical salves and ointments, fresh crushed leaves (poultice)

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

Great Plantain: dosing

There is no well-established standardized dose for Great Plantain. Traditional use varies widely, and the amount of active compounds differs between products and plant sources.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount. A pharmacist or doctor can help you decide whether it is appropriate for you and review your other medications and health conditions first.

About Dexlansoprazole

What Is Dexlansoprazole Used For?

Brand name: Dexilant Solutab

Dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules — sold as Dexilant and available as a generic — are used in patients 12 years of age and older to heal erosive esophagitis (EE), which is damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid. They are also used to keep that damage healed and relieve heartburn over time.

In addition, dexlansoprazole treats heartburn from non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — that is, acid reflux that causes symptoms without visible damage to the esophagus. Both Dexilant and generic dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules share these same approved uses.

Taking Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Great Plantain with Dexlansoprazole?
We do not list a known interaction between Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Great Plantain and Dexlansoprazole combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Dexlansoprazole is filed under 5 classifications, and Great Plantain has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Dexlansoprazole's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Great Plantain interact with any other medications?
Yes. Great Plantain has 2 documented drug interactions in our database — Dexlansoprazole is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Dexlansoprazole interact with any supplements?
Yes. Dexlansoprazole has documented interactions with 153 supplements in our database — Great Plantain is not one of them. The Dexlansoprazole interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
