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

We found no known interaction between Lysine and Dalteparin 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.

Lysine and Dalteparin

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 Dalteparin and Lysine 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.

Lysine safety at a glance

Lysine overall Use caution Generally well tolerated at typical doses, but high amounts may cause stomach upset and long-term safety is not well studied.
Pregnancy Use caution Lysine from food is fine, but supplement safety in pregnancy is not well studied, so check with your doctor first.
Breastfeeding Use caution There is not enough reliable information on supplement use while breastfeeding, so caution is advised.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dalteparin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dalteparin is filed under 2 classifications — anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs, oral drugs. Lysine has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being 5-ht4 agonists (minor) — and none of Dalteparin’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Lysine Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Dalteparin. It is the side-effect record for Lysine on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Lysine, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Kidney problems Worth acting on Additional detail

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Lysine — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dalteparin’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Dalteparin column appears here.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dalteparin page

“Dalteparin (Fragmin) is an injectable blood thinner used to prevent and treat dangerous clots, which is exactly why this list warrants real vigilance, and nearly all 218 ingredients on it thin the blood too. They are herbs and extracts with clot-inhibiting or antiplatelet effects of their own, so stacking them on dalteparin can push bl…”

About Lysine

What is Lysine?

  • Cold sores (herpes labialis)
  • Genital herpes outbreaks
  • Supporting protein and collagen formation
  • Calcium absorption support
  • General nutritional supplement

Lysine is an essential amino acid your body cannot make on its own, so it must come from food or supplements. People most often take extra lysine to try to prevent or shorten cold sores, but the evidence is mixed and far from conclusive. For most healthy people who eat enough protein, supplements are likely unnecessary, but they are generally considered low-risk at typical doses.

Amino acid (L-lysine) · Tablets, capsules, powder, topical creams (often combined with other ingredients)

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

Lysine: dosing

There is no single official supplement dose of lysine for any health condition, and a truly standardized dose has not been established for uses like cold sores. Products vary widely in how much they contain.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

About Dalteparin Injection

What Is Dalteparin Injection Used For?

Brand name: Fragmin

Fragmin (dalteparin) injection is used to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) in patients having abdominal surgery, hip replacement surgery, or in medical patients who are severely immobile during a serious illness. It is also used to reduce the risk of dangerous complications from unstable angina and a type of heart attack called non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, given alongside aspirin.

Fragmin is also used for the extended treatment of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE — blood clots in the veins or lungs) to prevent recurrence in adult cancer patients, and for the treatment of symptomatic VTE in children from birth (gestational age at least 35 weeks). Fragmin is not intended for the immediate (acute) treatment of VTE.
