No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Parsley Piert and Cefaclor 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 label for Cefaclor states a food rule worth keeping to.

Parsley Piert and Cefaclor

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 Cefaclor and Parsley Piert 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 Parsley Piert at all — not against Cefaclor, 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 Cefaclor’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Parsley Piert. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Cefaclor’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on

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

How to take them

Some Cefaclor Products Have a Food Rule — Parsley Piert Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Cefaclor says to take it with food. If you take Parsley Piert on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Cefaclor with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Cefaclor products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The absorption of cefaclor extended-release tablets is enhanced when it is administered with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Cefaclor — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Cefaclor page

“The entries worth understanding before any others on this cefaclor (Ceclor) page are the kidney risks and charcoal. Cefaclor is a cephalosporin antibiotic, typically a short course for ear, sinus, throat, or skin infections, and two herbs here, Siberian cocklebur and asarabacca, can damage the kidneys on their own, so pairing either wi…”

About Parsley Piert

What is Parsley Piert?

  • Kidney and bladder stones
  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Mild fluid retention
  • Bladder irritation
  • General 'kidney cleansing' tonic

Parsley piert is a small traditional herb used mainly in folk medicine for kidney and bladder problems, especially stones. There is very little modern scientific research to confirm it works for any condition, so claims rest mostly on long-standing traditional use. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and never use it to replace proven treatment for kidney stones or urinary problems.

Aphanes arvensis · Rosaceae · Above-ground parts (whole herb) · Tea (infusion), liquid extract/tincture, dried herb

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

Parsley Piert: dosing

There is no established, standardized dose of parsley piert. Traditional use involved making a tea from the dried herb or taking a liquid extract, but reliable dosing information from research is lacking.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Cefaclor

What Is Cefaclor Used For?

Brand names: Ceclor CD, Ceclor

Cefaclor treats a range of bacterial infections. The capsule and oral suspension forms are used for ear infections (otitis media), lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, strep throat and tonsillitis, urinary tract infections (including kidney infections and bladder infections), and skin and skin structure infections.

The extended-release tablet form of Cefaclor is approved for a narrower set of uses: acute bacterial flare-ups of chronic bronchitis, strep throat and tonsillitis, and uncomplicated skin infections. Not all infections approved for the capsule or suspension are approved for the extended-release tablet — your prescriber will choose the right form for your infection.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Cefaclor
