Houseleek + Chloroquine
Chloroquine brand names: Aralen Phosphate, Aralen Phosphate Injection, Aralen HCL, Avloclor, Malarivon, and others.
We found no known interaction between Houseleek and Chloroquine 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.
Houseleek and Chloroquine
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 Chloroquine and Houseleek 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 Houseleek at all — not against Chloroquine, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Chloroquine page
“Chloroquine treats and prevents malaria, and that is precisely why its interaction list earns genuine caution, because if a supplement keeps the drug from being fully absorbed, the infection itself can win. Of the 29 supplements and herbs on file, the dominant theme is reduced absorption, and both major-rated entries, activated charcoa…”

Where Houseleek and Chloroquine Sit Against Everything Else
Out of every supplement and medication people look up on HelloPharmacist, here is where these two land this week — and which way each has been moving.
#1,102 of 1,452 supplements looked up here in the last 7 days
#1,599 of 2,830 medications looked up here in the last 7 days
Position among everything looked up on this site, not a measure of how commonly either one is used or how important it is. A supplement can climb this list because of a news story. It counts every request to the page, automated ones included, and nothing here identifies anyone.
Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Houseleek is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Houseleek reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Houseleek and Chloroquine records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About Houseleek
What is Houseleek?
- Minor burns and skin irritation
- Insect bites and stings
- Warts and corns
- Earache (traditional folk use)
- Soothing cuts and scrapes
Houseleek is a hardy succulent traditionally applied to the skin for minor burns, bites, and irritations, much like aloe vera. Scientific evidence supporting its benefits is very limited and mostly comes from traditional use and laboratory studies, so it should not replace proven treatments. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Sempervivum tectorum · Crassulaceae · Leaves and the juice (sap) pressed from the leaves · Fresh leaf juice or pulp, poultices, ointments, and occasionally infusions
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Houseleek is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Houseleek record says about it on its own.
Houseleek: dosing
There is no standardized or well-established dose for houseleek. Traditional use involved applying the fresh leaf juice or crushed leaf pulp directly to the skin as needed, but no proven, measured dosing exists.If you choose to use a commercial product such as an ointment or gel, follow the directions on the label.

About Chloroquine
What Is Chloroquine Used For?
Brand names: Aralen Phosphate, Aralen Phosphate Injection, Aralen HCL, Avloclor, Malarivon, Nivaquine
Chloroquine Phosphate tablets are used to treat uncomplicated malaria caused by susceptible strains of P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. vivax. They are also used to prevent malaria when traveling to areas where chloroquine-resistant strains are not present.
Chloroquine Phosphate tablets are also approved for extraintestinal amebiasis — an infection with Entamoeba histolytica that has spread outside the intestines, such as to the liver. Important limitations apply: these tablets are not for complicated malaria, not for use in regions where chloroquine resistance is widespread, and they do not prevent malaria relapses caused by P. vivax or P. ovale without an additional medicine.
