The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Partridgeberry and Ondansetron 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.

Partridgeberry and Ondansetron

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 Ondansetron and Partridgeberry 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 Partridgeberry at all — not against Ondansetron, 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.

Partridgeberry safety at a glance

Partridgeberry overall Use caution Little modern safety data exists, so use cautiously and with professional guidance.
Pregnancy Avoid Traditionally used to act on the uterus, so avoid in pregnancy unless directed by a qualified provider.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding has not been studied, so it is best avoided.

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

What Ondansetron’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Partridgeberry. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ondansetron’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. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Migraine
  • A fast or pounding heartbeat
  • Numbness or tingling

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ondansetron. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 121,840 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ondansetron that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Partridgeberry’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Partridgeberry side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Partridgeberry has no side effects.

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Partridgeberry 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 Partridgeberry reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Partridgeberry and Ondansetron records this page draws on were last updated July 11, 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 Partridgeberry

What is Partridgeberry?

  • Toning the uterus in late pregnancy (traditional)
  • Menstrual cramps and painful periods
  • Supporting childbirth and labor (traditional)
  • Urinary and bladder discomfort
  • Digestive complaints

Partridgeberry (Mitchella repens) is a traditional North American herb most often used as a so-called 'uterine tonic' near the end of pregnancy and for menstrual discomfort. There is very little modern scientific research to confirm any of these uses, and because it has traditionally been used to affect the uterus, it should not be used during pregnancy without medical guidance. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Mitchella repens · Rubiaceae · Leaves and aerial parts (whole herb), sometimes berries · Tea, tincture, capsules, dried herb

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

Partridgeberry: dosing

There is no established, scientifically supported dose for partridgeberry. Traditional preparations were made as teas or tinctures, but standardized dosing based on modern research does not exist.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.
