Drug & supplement interaction

Orris + Dacomitinib

Dacomitinib brand name: Vizimpro.

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 Orris and Dacomitinib 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.

Orris and Dacomitinib

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 Dacomitinib and Orris 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 Orris at all — not against Dacomitinib, 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.

Orris safety at a glance

Orris overall Use caution Mostly used as a fragrance; the fresh root can irritate the skin and gut and human safety data for internal use are limited.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid medicinal use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding.

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 Orris and Dacomitinib May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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.

    Dacomitinib

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dacomitinib, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Orris but not commonly for Dacomitinib: stomach pain and vomiting.

Effects for Dacomitinib come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Orris come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 746 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dacomitinib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dacomitinib page

“Dacomitinib (Vizimpro) is a once-daily pill for EGFR-mutated lung cancer, and this list deserves real attention because the treatment only works if the full dose reaches your bloodstream. Seventeen of the 20 ingredients on file are fibers, gums, and binders that can blunt how much of an oral drug gets absorbed, and the single major-rat…”

About Orris

What is Orris?

  • Fragrance and flavoring (perfumes, gin, cosmetics)
  • Traditional remedy for coughs and congestion
  • Skin and breath freshening
  • Teething soothers for infants (traditional, not recommended)
  • Digestive complaints (traditional use)

Orris is the dried, aged rhizome of certain iris species, valued mainly for its violet-like scent in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavorings rather than for proven health benefits. There is very little reliable human evidence that it treats any medical condition, and the fresh root can be irritating, so it is best thought of as a fragrance ingredient rather than a remedy. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it for any health purpose.

Iris germanica · Iridaceae · Dried rhizome (orris root) and its essential oil/extract (orris butter) · Dried root pieces, powder, essential oil (orris butter), tinctures, and as a flavoring or fragrance ingredient

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

Orris: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for orris root. Its main everyday uses—as a perfume ingredient or a flavoring—involve very small amounts and are not the same as taking it as a supplement.If you are considering a product that contains orris, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Dacomitinib

What Is Dacomitinib Used For?

Brand name: Vizimpro

Vizimpro (dacomitinib) is used as a first-line treatment for adults with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) — meaning lung cancer that has spread — when the tumor carries a specific genetic change in the EGFR gene (an exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutation). Before starting, your tumor must be tested with an FDA-approved test to confirm one of these mutations is present.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Dacomitinib

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (746 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Diarrhea 119 reports
Rash 115 reports

Taking Orris and Dacomitinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Orris with Dacomitinib?
We do not list a known interaction between Orris and Dacomitinib. 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 Orris and Dacomitinib have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 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 Dacomitinib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Dacomitinib has documented interactions with 20 supplements in our database — Orris is not one of them. The Dacomitinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
