Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Gentamicin (Topical) 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.
