The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Hedge-hyssop and Chlorpromazine 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.

Interaction report

Hedge-hyssop and Chlorpromazine

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 Chlorpromazine and Hedge-hyssop 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 Hedge-hyssop at all — not against Chlorpromazine, 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 Hedge-hyssop Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Chlorpromazine. It is the side-effect record for Hedge-hyssop on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Hedge-hyssop, this list is the first place to look.

  • Passing urine more often / Diarrhea / Vomiting Additional detail

    “Orally, taken in toxic doses, hedge-hyssop may cause vomiting, bloody diarrhea, colic, and kidney irritation characterized by initial diuresis followed by anuria. When people ingest very large amounts, spasms, paralysis, and circulatory collapse occur. Death occurs rarely (18).”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Hedge-hyssop — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Chlorpromazine’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Chlorpromazine column appears here.

About Hedge-hyssop

What is Hedge-hyssop?

  • Constipation and as a laxative
  • Fluid retention (diuretic use)
  • Liver and digestive complaints
  • Skin conditions (traditional/topical)
  • Inducing vomiting (historical purgative)

Hedge-hyssop is a traditional European herb that was historically used as a strong laxative, diuretic, and purgative, but it is considered toxic and is not recommended for self-treatment. There is no reliable modern evidence that it is safe or effective, and serious poisoning has been reported, so it is best avoided.

Gratiola officinalis · Plantaginaceae · Aerial parts (leaves and flowering stems), sometimes the root · Dried herb, tincture, and historically homeopathic preparations

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

Hedge-hyssop: dosing

There is no established safe or standardized dose of hedge-hyssop. Because the plant is toxic and the margin between a traditional dose and a harmful dose is narrow, no specific amount can be recommended.We do not advise self-treating with this herb.

About Chlorpromazine

What Is Chlorpromazine Used For?

Brand names: Thorazine, Thorazine Spansules

Chlorpromazine is used to manage psychotic disorders and treat schizophrenia. It also controls nausea and vomiting, relieves restlessness and apprehension before surgery, and controls the manic phase of manic-depressive illness. Other uses include relief of intractable hiccups, treatment of acute intermittent porphyria, and use as an adjunct in tetanus treatment.

In children ages 1 to 12, it is used for severe behavioral problems marked by explosive or combative behavior, and for short-term treatment of hyperactive children with conduct disorders. The oral forms are also approved for the management of manifestations of psychotic disorders broadly, in addition to the uses shared with the injection form.
