Drug & supplement interaction

Lemon Verbena + Dupilumab

Dupilumab brand name: Dupixent.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lemon Verbena and Dupilumab 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.

Interaction report

Lemon Verbena and Dupilumab

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 Dupilumab and Lemon Verbena 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.

Lemon Verbena safety at a glance

Lemon Verbena overall Use caution Generally well tolerated as a tea or food, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil are less studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, so it is best avoided in medicinal amounts during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety has not been established, so avoid medicinal amounts while breastfeeding.

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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Lemon Verbena and Dupilumab May Share a Side Effect

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.

  • A skin rash reported in 17.5% of FDA reports for Dupilumab Additional detail

About Lemon Verbena

What is Lemon Verbena?

Lemon Verbena
  • Digestive upset
  • Anxiety and trouble sleeping
  • Joint pain and inflammation
  • Exercise recovery and oxidative stress
  • Weight management
  • Flavoring and aromatherapy

Lemon verbena is a fragrant South American herb most often enjoyed as a tea or flavoring, and it contains polyphenols like verbascoside that have antioxidant activity in lab studies. Some small studies hint at benefits for inflammation, exercise recovery, and appetite, but the human evidence is limited and far from proven. It is generally well tolerated as a food and tea, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Aloysia citrodora · Verbenaceae · Leaves and flowering tops; the essential oil is also used · Tea, capsules, liquid extracts, essential oil, and as a flavoring in foods and beverages

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

Lemon Verbena: dosing

There is no official or well-established standardized dose for lemon verbena. As a tea, it is commonly prepared by steeping the dried leaves in hot water, similar to other herbal teas.For capsules and extracts, products vary widely and some are standardized to a certain percentage of polyphenols or verbascoside. More is not always better, and starting with the lowest amount is a sensible approach.

About Dupilumab Injection

What Is Dupilumab Injection Used For?

Brand name: Dupixent

Dupixent (dupilumab) injection is approved for a wide range of inflammatory conditions driven by overactive immune signaling. It treats moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients as young as 6 months old when topical prescription therapies haven't worked or aren't appropriate. It is also used as an add-on maintenance treatment for moderate-to-severe asthma (in patients 6 years and older with a certain immune profile or who depend on oral steroids), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (in patients 12 and older), and COPD with an eosinophilic phenotype in adults.

Additionally, Dupixent treats eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE, an inflammatory condition of the esophagus) in patients 1 year and older weighing at least 15 kg, prurigo nodularis (a skin condition with itchy nodules) in adults, chronic spontaneous urticaria (ongoing hives not caused by a known trigger) in patients 2 and older who still have symptoms on antihistamines, bullous pemphigoid (a blistering skin disease) in adults, and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis in patients 6 and older with a history of sinus surgery. It is not used to relieve sudden asthma or COPD attacks, and it is not for other forms of urticaria.

Taking Lemon Verbena and Dupilumab Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Lemon Verbena with Dupilumab?
We do not list a known interaction between Lemon Verbena and Dupilumab. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Lemon Verbena and Dupilumab have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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.
Does Lemon Verbena interact with any other medications?
Yes. Lemon Verbena has 22 documented drug interactions in our database — Dupilumab is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
