Mouse-ear Hawkweed and Pimecrolimus

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 Pimecrolimus 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 Pimecrolimus, 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 Pimecrolimus’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Mouse-ear Hawkweed. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pimecrolimus’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • A skin rash mentioned in 22.9% of FDA reports for Pimecrolimus
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Headache

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Pimecrolimus. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,600 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pimecrolimus that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Mouse-ear Hawkweed’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Mouse-ear Hawkweed side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Mouse-ear Hawkweed has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pimecrolimus page

“Pimecrolimus (Elidel) is an eczema cream, applied to the skin rather than swallowed, so its supplement interactions are few and they follow one pattern. All three ingredients on file are also used topically, and the two rated moderate, DMSO and turpentine oil, may pull more of the drug through the skin, amplifying both its benefit and…”

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 Pimecrolimus 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.
