Drug & supplement interaction

Marsh Marigold + Ferric Citrate

Ferric Citrate brand name: Auryxia.

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 Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate 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 Ferric Citrate states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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

Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate

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 Ferric Citrate and Marsh Marigold 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 Marsh Marigold at all — not against Ferric Citrate, 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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate 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.

  • Diarrhea Additional detail

    Marsh Marigold

    “Orally, ingestion of marsh marigold can cause severe irritation of the gastrointestinal tract with colic and diarrhea. Irritation of the urinary tract can also occur (18).

    Topically, skin contact with the fresh plant can cause blisters and burns that are difficult to heal (18).”

How to take them

Some Ferric Citrate Products Have a Food Rule — Marsh Marigold Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Ferric Citrate says to take it with food. If you take Marsh Marigold on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Ferric Citrate 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 Ferric Citrate 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.

( 2.2 ) 2.1 Dosage for Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis The recommended starting dose is 2 tablets, swallowed whole, 3 times per day with meals.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ferric Citrate — 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ferric Citrate page

“Ferric citrate (Auryxia) does its work in the gut, binding dietary phosphate in kidney disease or supplying iron, and all 17 supplements on this list can interfere with how oral medicines get absorbed. That is worth real caution, starting with the single major-rated entry, activated charcoal, which adsorbs many drugs directly and can m…”

About Marsh Marigold

What is Marsh Marigold?

  • Skin conditions and warts
  • Cough and bronchitis (folk use)
  • Painful or irregular menstruation (folk use)
  • Constipation (folk use)
  • Joint and rheumatic complaints (folk use)

Marsh Marigold is a wetland plant in the buttercup family that has been used in traditional and homeopathic medicine, but there is essentially no reliable human evidence that it works for any condition. The raw plant contains irritant compounds and is considered toxic when eaten fresh, so it is generally not recommended as a supplement.

Caltha palustris · Ranunculaceae · Flowers, leaves, and roots (mainly in folk medicine) · Tinctures, homeopathic preparations, dried herb; rarely used today

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

Marsh Marigold: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for Marsh Marigold, and no recognized safe amount for everyday use. When in doubt, it is safest not to use this plant at all.

Taking Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Marsh Marigold with Ferric Citrate?
We do not list a known interaction between Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate. 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 Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate 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.
Should I take Marsh Marigold and Ferric Citrate at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Ferric Citrate says to take it with food. If you take Marsh Marigold on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Ferric Citrate with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Ferric Citrate products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Does Ferric Citrate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Ferric Citrate has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Marsh Marigold is not one of them. The Ferric Citrate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
