Greek Sage and Hydrochlorothiazide, Spironolactone

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 Hydrochlorothiazide, Spironolactone and Greek Sage 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.

Greek Sage safety at a glance

Greek Sage overall Use caution Likely safe in food and tea amounts, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil need more caution.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy due to limited safety data.

About Greek Sage

What is Greek Sage?

  • Sore throat and mouth irritation
  • Digestive upset
  • Memory and cognition support
  • Antimicrobial purposes
  • Flavoring and aromatherapy

Greek sage (Salvia fruticosa) is a Mediterranean herb traditionally used as a tea and flavoring, and popularly for sore throats and digestion. Solid human research on its health benefits is limited, so most uses are based on tradition or early lab studies. It is generally considered safe in food amounts, but talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated extracts or essential oils.

Salvia fruticosa · Lamiaceae · Leaves and essential oil · Tea, dried leaf, capsules, essential oil, extracts

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

Greek Sage: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of Greek sage. Traditional use is usually a cup of tea made from a small amount of dried leaf.For capsules, extracts, or essential oil products, follow the directions on the label, since the strength varies a lot between products.
