Marjoram and Prabotulinumtoxina-Xvfs

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Prabotulinumtoxina-Xvfs

Prabotulinumtoxina-Xvfs falls under ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS — the group Marjoram interacts with.

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with anticholinergic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of marjoram or the anticholinergic agent.
Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist: Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA) works by quieting the nerve signals that fire those frown muscles between your brows. It does this by blocking the release of a messenger chemical called acetylcholine. Marjoram, in lab-dish studies, seems to nudge in the opposite direction by raising acetylcholine levels a bit (it blocks the enzyme that breaks that chemical down).

So in theory, concentrated marjoram supplements could slightly work against the muscle-relaxing effect of your treatment, perhaps making it fade a touch sooner. I want to be honest though: this is theoretical, based only on test-tube data, and everyday food amounts of marjoram in cooking are very unlikely to matter. If you take marjoram capsules or oils, just mention it to your injector or pharmacist first.

About Marjoram

What is Marjoram?

Marjoram
  • Digestive upset
  • Sleep and relaxation
  • Respiratory complaints (cough, congestion)
  • Menstrual discomfort
  • Aromatherapy for stress

Marjoram is a Mediterranean kitchen herb related to oregano that is widely used in food and traditional medicine for digestive, sleep, and respiratory complaints. Most of its health claims rest on traditional use and small lab or animal studies rather than strong human trials. It is generally considered safe as a food, but concentrated supplements and essential oils should be used with caution and avoided in pregnancy.
