Drug & supplement interaction

Mountain Ash + Chlorpromazine

Chlorpromazine brand names: Thorazine, Thorazine Spansules.

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 Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine 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

Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine

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 Chlorpromazine and Mountain Ash 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 Chlorpromazine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Chlorpromazine is filed under 9 classifications — including phenothiazines, antipsychotic drugs, qt interval-prolonging drugs. Mountain Ash has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being nephrotoxic drugs (moderate) — and none of Chlorpromazine’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine 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.

About Mountain Ash

What is Mountain Ash?

Mountain Ash
  • Sore throat and hoarseness
  • Digestive upset and constipation
  • Cough and chest congestion
  • Mild urinary complaints
  • Source of vitamin C in folk medicine

Mountain ash (rowan) is a northern-hemisphere tree whose bright red berries are traditionally cooked into jams, syrups, and teas. There is very little reliable human research to support any medical use, and raw berries contain compounds that can cause stomach upset, so cooking is important. If you want to try it, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Sorbus aucuparia · Rosaceae · Fruit (berries), and sometimes the flowers and bark · Cooked berries, jam or jelly, juice, syrup, tea, tincture

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

Mountain Ash: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for mountain ash. It is most often consumed as cooked berries, jam, syrup, or tea rather than as a measured supplement.If you use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the suggested amount.

About Chlorpromazine

What Is Chlorpromazine Used For?

Brand names: Thorazine, Thorazine Spansules

Chlorpromazine is used to manage psychotic disorders and treat schizophrenia. It also controls nausea and vomiting, relieves restlessness and apprehension before surgery, and controls the manic phase of manic-depressive illness. Other uses include relief of intractable hiccups, treatment of acute intermittent porphyria, and use as an adjunct in tetanus treatment.

In children ages 1 to 12, it is used for severe behavioral problems marked by explosive or combative behavior, and for short-term treatment of hyperactive children with conduct disorders. The oral forms are also approved for the management of manifestations of psychotic disorders broadly, in addition to the uses shared with the injection form.

Taking Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Mountain Ash with Chlorpromazine?
We do not list a known interaction between Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine. 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 Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine 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.
How was the Mountain Ash and Chlorpromazine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Chlorpromazine is filed under 9 classifications, and Mountain Ash has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Chlorpromazine's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Mountain Ash interact with any other medications?
Yes. Mountain Ash has 355 documented drug interactions in our database — Chlorpromazine is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Chlorpromazine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Chlorpromazine has documented interactions with 211 supplements in our database — Mountain Ash is not one of them. The Chlorpromazine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
