Mouse-ear Hawkweed and Ketoconazole

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 Ketoconazole and Mouse-ear Hawkweed 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 Mouse-ear Hawkweed at all — not against Ketoconazole, 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.

  • A low platelet count Worth acting on

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ketoconazole page

“Ketoconazole (Nizoral) is already hard on the liver, so treat its 182 interacting supplements with genuine care, starting with the six rated major. Most of the list runs through CYP3A4, the liver enzyme ketoconazole strongly blocks, so it can raise levels of over a hundred herbal ingredients, while grapefruit pushes ketoconazole itself…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Mouse-ear Hawkweed is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Mouse-ear Hawkweed reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Mouse-ear Hawkweed and Ketoconazole records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Mouse-ear Hawkweed

What is Mouse-ear Hawkweed?

Mouse-ear Hawkweed
  • Urinary tract and kidney support
  • Mild diuretic (increasing urine flow)
  • Digestive complaints
  • Coughs and respiratory irritation
  • Wound and skin care (astringent)

Mouse-ear hawkweed is a traditional European herb used mainly for urinary, digestive, and respiratory complaints, but modern human studies are very limited. Because good safety and effectiveness data are lacking, it is best used cautiously and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you have a health condition or take medications.

Pilosella officinarum · Asteraceae · Aerial parts (leaves, flowers, and stems), usually the whole flowering herb · Tea (infusion), liquid extract or tincture, dried herb, capsules

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

Mouse-ear Hawkweed: dosing

There is no established standard dose for mouse-ear hawkweed. Traditional use has involved teas made from the dried herb and liquid extracts or tinctures, but reliable, science-based dosing is not available.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the suggested amount.

About Ketoconazole

What Is Ketoconazole Used For?

Brand name: Nizoral

Ketoconazole 2% shampoo and foam are used to treat tinea versicolor (also called pityriasis versicolor) — a fungal infection caused by Pityrosporum orbiculare (also known as Malassezia furfur), a yeast that naturally lives on the skin.

This infection creates light or dark patches, most often on the trunk, neck, arms, and upper thighs. Even after the fungus is cleared, those skin patches may take months to return to their normal color — that's normal, and depends on your skin type and sun exposure. Tinea versicolor can also come back, since the fungus lives on healthy skin even when there's no active infection.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ketoconazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (0 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
