The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Hemp Agrimony and Orlistat 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.

Hemp Agrimony and Orlistat

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 Orlistat and Hemp Agrimony 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 Orlistat

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Orlistat is filed under 2 classifications — including oral drugs. Hemp Agrimony has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inducers (moderate) and hepatotoxic drugs (moderate) — and none of Orlistat’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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Hemp Agrimony and Orlistat May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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.

  • Diarrhea / Vomiting reported in 7.6% of FDA reports for Orlistat Additional detail

    Hemp Agrimony

    “Orally, the major concern with hemp agrimony preparations is the hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) content. Chronic exposure to other plants containing hepatotoxic PA constituents is associated with veno-occlusive disease. Subacute veno-occlusive disease causes vague symptoms with persistent liver enlargement.”

    Orlistat

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Orlistat, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Effects for Orlistat come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Hemp Agrimony come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 25,755 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Orlistat that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Hemp Agrimony in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Likely Unsafe

There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of using hemp agrimony products that do not contain hepatotoxic PAs during pregnancy.

Lactation Likely Unsafe

When used orally. Hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) constituents in hemp agrimony are excreted in milk. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of using hemp agrimony products that do not contain hepatotoxic PAs during lactation.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Orlistat page

“People who take Orlistat (Xenical, Alli) for weight loss often browse the very supplement aisle where fiber products and fish oil sit, and both show up on this page, so it deserves genuine attention before you mix anything in.

About Hemp Agrimony

What is Hemp Agrimony?

Hemp Agrimony
  • Digestive complaints
  • Cold and flu symptoms
  • Respiratory conditions
  • Mild fever
  • Traditional 'tonic' or detox use

Hemp agrimony is a traditional European herb that has been used for digestion, colds, and as a general tonic, but there is very little reliable human research to support these uses. More importantly, the plant can contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids that may harm the liver, so most experts do not recommend taking it internally. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using any product that contains hemp agrimony.

Eupatorium cannabinum · Asteraceae · Aerial parts (leaves, flowers, stems) and roots · Tea, tincture, dried herb, liquid extract

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

Hemp Agrimony: dosing

There is no established safe or standardized dose for hemp agrimony. Because of concerns about liver-toxic compounds, most reliable sources do not recommend taking it internally at all.If a product containing hemp agrimony is available, do not assume any amount is proven safe. When possible, choose better-studied alternatives for whatever condition you are trying to treat.

Taking Hemp Agrimony and Orlistat Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Hemp Agrimony with Orlistat?

Do Hemp Agrimony and Orlistat have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 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 Hemp Agrimony and Orlistat combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Orlistat is filed under 2 classifications, and Hemp Agrimony has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Orlistat'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 Hemp Agrimony interact with any other medications?
Yes. Hemp Agrimony has 438 documented drug interactions in our database — Orlistat is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
