Pellitory and Glatiramer acetate

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 Glatiramer acetate and Pellitory 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 Pellitory at all — not against Glatiramer acetate, 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 Glatiramer acetate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Pellitory. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Glatiramer acetate’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.

  • Loss of vision Worth acting on
  • A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 69 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 Glatiramer acetate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 62,164 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Glatiramer acetate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Pellitory’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Pellitory side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Pellitory has no side effects.

About Pellitory

What is Pellitory?

  • Toothache and oral discomfort
  • Increasing saliva flow
  • Sluggish digestion
  • Traditional tonic in some folk medicine systems

Pellitory (often Anacyclus pyrethrum, the root traditionally called 'pellitory of Spain') is an herb chiefly known in folk and traditional medicine for numbing toothache and stimulating saliva. Human evidence for its benefits is very limited, so it should be viewed as a traditional remedy rather than a proven treatment. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Anacyclus pyrethrum · Asteraceae · Root · Powder, root extract, tinctures, tooth powders and mouthwashes

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