Ox-eye Daisy and nitisinone

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 nitisinone and Ox-eye Daisy 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 Ox-eye Daisy at all — not against nitisinone, 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 nitisinone’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Ox-eye Daisy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of nitisinone’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. 6 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Dry skin
  • Hair loss
  • Itching
  • Stomach pain

Showing the 10 most notable of 12 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for nitisinone. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 948 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for nitisinone that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Ox-eye Daisy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Ox-eye Daisy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Ox-eye Daisy has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the nitisinone page

“For a child or adult with hereditary tyrosinemia type 1, nitisinone (Orfadin, Nityr) is the medication holding a dangerous metabolic disease in check, which is why the 21 supplements on this page warrant genuine care rather than a shrug. Activated charcoal is the single major-rated entry and the one to understand first, since it can so…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Ox-eye Daisy 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 Ox-eye Daisy reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Ox-eye Daisy and nitisinone 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 Ox-eye Daisy

What is Ox-eye Daisy?

  • Cough and bronchial complaints
  • Digestive upset
  • Wound healing and skin conditions
  • Mild spasms or cramps
  • As a traditional tonic

Ox-eye daisy is a traditional European folk remedy used for coughs, digestion, and minor skin problems, but there is very little modern scientific research to confirm any of these uses. Because it belongs to the same family as ragweed, it may trigger allergic reactions, and its safety has not been well studied. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Leucanthemum vulgare · Asteraceae · Flowers, leaves, and aerial parts (whole flowering plant) · Tea, dried herb, tincture, topical preparations (lotions, washes)

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

Ox-eye Daisy: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for ox-eye daisy. Traditional use involved brewing the dried flowers or leaves as a tea, but reliable, research-based dosing guidelines do not exist.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Nitisinone

What Is Nitisinone Used For?

Brand names: Orfadin, Nityr

Nitisinone (as Orfadin capsules, Orfadin oral suspension, Nityr tablets, and generic Nitisinone capsules) is used to treat hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1) — a rare inherited disease in which the body cannot properly break down the amino acid tyrosine, leading to toxic buildup that damages the liver and kidneys. It is used in both adults and children, always together with a strict low-tyrosine, low-phenylalanine diet.

Harliku tablets are approved for a different rare inherited condition: alkaptonuria (AKU). In adults with AKU, Harliku reduces the level of homogentisic acid (HGA) — a harmful substance that builds up in the urine and body tissues. Harliku is not approved for HT-1, and the other nitisinone products are not approved for AKU.

Most-Reported Side Effects for nitisinone

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (948 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Amino acid level increased 133 reports
Liver transplant 118 reports
Hepatocellular carcinoma 61 reports
Alpha 1 foetoprotein increased 52 reports
Treatment noncompliance 51 reports
