Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Dupilumab and Hyland's Restless Legs. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Pharmacist Analysis
In most situations, clinically significant interactions between homeopathic products and prescription or over-the-counter medications are extremely unlikely.
Homeopathic medications, which utilize the principle of 'like cures like', are often highly diluted substances. These dilutions are typically so high that the final remedy contains only a tiny amount of the original active ingredient, if any at all.
In theory, because the concentration of the active ingredient is so low, homeopathic preparations are unlikely to interact with other medications in the body.
This is certainly the case with Hyland's Restful Legs, with all the ingredients diluted at potencies of 6X or 12X. A potency of 6X means that the original substance has been diluted by a factor of 10^6, or one part in a million (i.e., for every million parts of the solution, there is one part of the original substance).
It is important to note that not all homeopathic remedies are free of potential drug interactions as some use very low dilutions (which is often the case with zinc-containing products).
Nevertheless, there are no known drug interactions between Hyland's Restful Legs and other medications. It is also thought to be safe to take along with medications to help sleep, like Benadryl, melatonin, and NyQuil, which are commonly used with the product to help sleep.
- Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmDHyland's Restless Legs Overview
Hyland's Restless Legs (the actual product name is Hyland's Restful Legs but it is more commonly known as 'restless legs') is a homeopathic product that is marketed to 'calm agitated legs so you can rest.' As a homeopathic product, Restul Legs is based on the principle of "like cures like" or 'law of similars', meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in a diluted form to treat similar symptoms (such as an onion preparation being used to treat watery eyes and a runny nose). A good example of this is that Restful Legs contain Arsenicum Album 12X, a highly diluted form of arsenic. There is both a daytime version of Hyland's Restless Legs and a nighttime version (PM).
Dupilumab Overview
-
Dupilumab injection is used to treat the symptoms of eczema (atopic dermatitis; a skin disease that causes the skin to be dry and itchy and to sometimes develop red, scaly rashes) in adults and children 6 months of age and older who cannot use other medications for their condition or whose eczema has not responded to other medications. It is also used along with other medications to prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness due to certain types of asthma in adults and children 6 years and older whose symptoms are not controlled with other medications. Dupilumab injection is also used along with other medications to treat chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (ongoing runny nose, sinus swelling and/or nasal congestion, with or without a reduced sense of smell or pain and pressure in the face) in adults whose symptoms are not controlled with other medications. It is also used to treat eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE; a condition that involves high levels of blood cells in the esophagus [tube that connects the mouth to the stomach] that may damage tissues of the esophagus) in adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg). Dupilumab injection is also used to treat prurigo nodularis (a skin condition that causes crusty lumps on the skin and severe itching) in adults. Dupilumab injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by stopping the action of certain substances in the body that cause inflammation.
