The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Immortelle and Ketoprofen 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 label for Ketoprofen states a food rule worth keeping to.

Immortelle and Ketoprofen

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 Ketoprofen and Immortelle 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 Immortelle at all — not against Ketoprofen, 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.

Immortelle safety at a glance

Immortelle overall Use caution Generally used in food and tea amounts, but human safety data for supplements is limited.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid unless cleared by your doctor.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What Ketoprofen’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Immortelle. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ketoprofen’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 62 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ketoprofen. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 13,040 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ketoprofen that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Immortelle’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Immortelle side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Immortelle has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Ketoprofen Products Have a Food Rule — Immortelle Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Ketoprofen says to take it with food. If you take Immortelle on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Ketoprofen with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Ketoprofen products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

Although food delays the absorption of both formulations (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ) in most of the clinical trials ketoprofen was taken with food or milk.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ketoprofen — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Ketoprofen

This page covers Immortelle only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Ketoprofen page lists 252 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Asarabacca (major), Beer (major), Danshen (major) and Piracetam (major).

By severity: 7 major · 217 moderate · 28 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ketoprofen page

“Bleeding is what worries me most with ketoprofen (Orudis, Oruvail Gel). As an NSAID, it already irritates the stomach lining and slows clotting, and 202 of the 252 supplements and herbs on this page can push that bleeding risk further.”

About Immortelle

What is Immortelle?

  • Digestive and liver support
  • Skin health and wound care
  • Mild inflammation
  • Antioxidant support
  • Cough and respiratory complaints

Immortelle (Helichrysum) is a Mediterranean flowering herb used traditionally for digestion, skin, and mild inflammation. Human evidence for these uses is very limited, so it should be seen as a traditional remedy rather than a proven treatment. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medicines.

Helichrysum arenarium · Asteraceae · Flowers (flower heads) and essential oil · Tea, dried flowers, tincture, capsules, essential oil

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

Immortelle: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose of immortelle. Traditional use involves brewing the dried flowers as a tea or using a tincture, but the amount of active compounds can vary a lot between products.If you use a commercial supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them. Essential oil is for external or aromatherapy use only and must be diluted.

About Ketoprofen

What Is Ketoprofen Used For?

Brand names: Orudis, Oruvail Gel, Powergel, Oruvail Injection

Ketoprofen capsules (including the brand Orudis) are used to manage the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, to treat pain, and to treat primary dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods).

Ketoprofen extended-release capsules are approved for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis only. Because of the way they slowly release the drug, ketoprofen extended-release capsules are not recommended for treating acute (sudden) pain.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ketoprofen

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (13,040 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Headache 1,232 reports
