The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Osha and Phentermine 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.

Osha and Phentermine

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 Phentermine and Osha 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 Osha at all — not against Phentermine, 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 to actually watch for

What Phentermine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Osha. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Phentermine’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. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • Erection problems
  • Tremor or shakiness
  • A fast or pounding heartbeat
  • Anxiety or restlessness
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Stomach upset
  • Constipation

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Phentermine. Read the label on DailyMed › Osha’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Osha side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Osha has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Phentermine

This page covers Osha only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Phentermine page lists 61 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Ephedra (major), Peyote (major), Rauvolfia Vomitoria (major) and Sida Cordifolia (major).

By severity: 5 major · 43 moderate · 13 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Phentermine page

“Ephedra is the pairing I most want anyone taking phentermine (Adipex-P) to know about. Phentermine is itself a stimulant appetite suppressant that raises heart rate and blood pressure, and ephedra piles the same cardiovascular strain on top of it.”

About Osha

What is Osha?

  • Cough and sore throat
  • Respiratory infections and colds
  • Immune support
  • Digestive upset
  • Bronchitis and congestion

Osha is a root from a wild mountain plant native to the western United States and Mexico, traditionally used by Native American and Hispanic communities for coughs, colds, and sore throats. Solid human research is lacking, so its benefits remain unproven, and it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Ligusticum porteri · Apiaceae · Root · Tea, tincture, capsules, lozenges, chewed raw root

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

Osha: dosing

There is no established standard dose for osha. The right amount depends on the form (tea, tincture, capsule, or lozenge) and the product's strength.If you choose to use osha, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them.

About Phentermine

What Is Phentermine Used For?

Brand names: Adipex-P, Fastin, T Diet, Phentride, Obenix, Pbc Phentride, Pbw Phentride, Phentrol #3, Ionamin, Phentrol #6, Phentrol #2, Phentrol #5, Phentrol, Obermine, Phentermine, Suprenza

Phentermine is approved as a short-term addition to a weight-loss program — not a standalone treatment. It is used alongside reduced-calorie eating, increased physical activity, and behavior changes to help manage obesity in adults whose body mass index (BMI) is 30 kg/m² or higher, or 27 kg/m² or higher when other risk factors such as controlled high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) are also present.

All available phentermine products — including Adipex-P, Lomaira, and various generic capsules and tablets — share this same FDA-approved use. Lomaira tablets are specifically dosed to be taken three times daily before meals, while other formulations are generally taken once daily. Treatment is intended to last only a few weeks.
