The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Meadowsweet and Scopolamine 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.

Interaction report

Meadowsweet and Scopolamine

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 Scopolamine and Meadowsweet 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Scopolamine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Scopolamine is filed under 4 classifications — including anticholinergic drugs, topical drugs, oral drugs. Meadowsweet has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being aspirin (moderate), choline magnesium trisalicylate (trilisate) (moderate) and salsalate (disalcid) (moderate) — and none of Scopolamine’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 Meadowsweet Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Scopolamine. It is the side-effect record for Meadowsweet on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Meadowsweet, this list is the first place to look.

Ringing in the ears Additional detail
“Meadowsweet contains salicylate constituents. There is insufficient reliable information available to know if the side effects and toxicity normally associated with salicylates could occur with meadowsweet use. Orally, adverse reactions with salicylates include tinnitus (4).”

Meadowsweet contains salicylate constituents. There is insufficient reliable information available to know if the side effects and toxicity normally associated with salicylates could occur with meadowsweet use.

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

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Scopolamine

This page covers Meadowsweet only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Scopolamine page lists 51 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), Henbane (major), Scopolia (major) and Angel's Trumpet (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 34 moderate · 13 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Scopolamine page

“Scopolamine, the motion sickness medicine most people wear as the Transderm Scop patch, sits on the serious end of supplement interactions, so learn the four major entries first. Most of the 51 ingredients here, 30 of them, pile the same anticholinergic side effects on top of the drug: dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, confusion.”

About Meadowsweet

What is Meadowsweet?

Heartburn and indigestion
Cold and flu symptoms
Mild aches and pains
Fever
Joint discomfort

Meadowsweet is a traditional European herb that contains natural salicylates (aspirin-like compounds) and is used mainly for digestive upset, colds, and minor aches. High-quality human studies are lacking, so its benefits are not well proven, and people sensitive to aspirin should be cautious. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Filipendula ulmaria · Rosaceae · Flowers and above-ground (aerial) parts, sometimes the root · Tea, dried herb, tincture, liquid extract, capsules

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

Meadowsweet: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for meadowsweet. Traditional use varies widely depending on the form — for example, dried flowers steeped as a tea, or a tincture or capsule taken according to the maker's directions.Because product strengths differ a great deal, the safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Scopolamine Transdermal System (also sold as Transderm Scōp) is approved for adults to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness. You apply it before travel to help stop queasiness before it starts.
