Drug & supplement interaction

Nasturtium + Clemastine

Clemastine brand name: Tavist Allergy.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Nasturtium and Clemastine 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.

Nasturtium and Clemastine

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 Clemastine and Nasturtium 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 Nasturtium at all — not against Clemastine, 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.

Nasturtium safety at a glance

Nasturtium overall Use caution Generally considered safe as a food, but concentrated extracts have limited safety data.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; medicinal amounts are best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Use caution Safety during breastfeeding is not well studied, so caution is advised.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Nasturtium and Clemastine 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.

  • A skin rash Additional detail

    Nasturtium

    “Orally, large amounts of nasturtium or benzyl mustard oil, a constituent of nasturtium, can cause gastrointestinal tract irritation (2,18). Large amounts of nasturtium can cause albuminuria due to glomerular and tubular damage (2).

    Topically, contact with the nasturtium plant and its benzyl mustard oil constituent can cause skin and mucosal irritation (2,18).”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clemastine page

“Clemastine (Tavist Allergy) is an older, sedating antihistamine that already dries the mouth, blurs vision, and slows the gut, and that is exactly why this list earns real caution rather than a quick skim. Thirty of the 72 supplements on file pile the same drying, sedating anticholinergic load on top, and two of the three major-rated e…”

About Nasturtium

What is Nasturtium?

  • Urinary tract infections
  • Respiratory infections and congestion
  • Antimicrobial support
  • Wound and skin care (topical)
  • Mild cold and cough symptoms

Nasturtium is an edible garden plant traditionally used for urinary and respiratory infections, often combined with horseradish in herbal products. Some lab studies suggest it has antimicrobial activity, but high-quality human evidence is limited. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have kidney or stomach problems.

Tropaeolum majus · Tropaeolaceae · Leaves, flowers, and seeds · Fresh leaves and flowers (food/salad), dried herb, tea, capsules, tinctures, and combination herbal products

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

Nasturtium: dosing

There is no well-established standardized dose for nasturtium. Amounts vary widely depending on whether you use fresh leaves, dried herb, tea, capsules, or a combination product.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Nasturtium and Clemastine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Nasturtium with Clemastine?
We do not list a known interaction between Nasturtium and Clemastine. 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 Nasturtium and Clemastine 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.
Does Clemastine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Clemastine has documented interactions with 72 supplements in our database — Nasturtium is not one of them. The Clemastine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
