Pheasant's Eye + Moxifloxacin

Moxifloxacin brand name: Avelox.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin

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 Moxifloxacin and Pheasant's Eye 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Moxifloxacin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Moxifloxacin is filed under 9 classifications — including quinolone antibiotics, organic anion-transporting polypeptide substrates (oatp), qt interval-prolonging drugs. Pheasant's Eye has documented interactions with 7 drug classes — the most serious being digoxin (lanoxin) (major), corticosteroids (moderate) and diuretic drugs (moderate) — and none of Moxifloxacin’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

“The supplement list for moxifloxacin (Avelox), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, deserves genuine care, and the everyday items are the surprising part.

About Pheasant's Eye

What is Pheasant's Eye?

  • Heart failure symptoms
  • Irregular or weak heartbeat
  • Fluid retention (as a diuretic)
  • Nervous heart complaints
  • Mild anxiety with heart palpitations

Pheasant's Eye (Adonis vernalis) is a toxic plant that contains heart-acting compounds similar to those in foxglove. It has been used in traditional and old European medicine for heart problems, but it is poisonous and has a very narrow margin of safety. You should not use it on your own — it should only ever be considered under direct medical supervision, if at all.

Adonis vernalis · Ranunculaceae · Dried above-ground parts (herb), including flowers, stems, and leaves · Tincture, dried herb extract, and standardized preparations (historically); rarely available as a non-prescription supplement

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

Pheasant's Eye: dosing

There is no safe, established over-the-counter dose for Pheasant's Eye, and we will not suggest one. Because the plant is toxic and the gap between an active dose and a poisonous dose is very small, dosing was historically left to trained practitioners using standardized, carefully measured preparations.We do not recommend using this plant on your own. If a product containing it is ever offered to you, do not take it without first speaking to a doctor or pharmacist. Always follow professional medical guidance rather than a product label alone.

About Moxifloxacin

What Is Moxifloxacin Used For?

Brand name: Avelox

Moxifloxacin tablets and intravenous (IV) injection are approved for adults 18 and older to treat bacterial infections including community-acquired pneumonia, uncomplicated and complicated skin infections, complicated abdominal infections, plague, acute bacterial sinusitis, and acute bacterial flare-ups of chronic bronchitis. Note: moxifloxacin should only be used for sinusitis and chronic bronchitis flare-ups when no other antibiotic option is available, due to the risk of serious side effects.

Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution (eye drops) — including the brand Vigamox — is a separate, topical formulation used only in the eye to treat bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by susceptible bacteria. The eye drop form is not used for body-wide infections.

Taking Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Pheasant's Eye with Moxifloxacin?
We do not list a known interaction between Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Pheasant's Eye and Moxifloxacin combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Moxifloxacin is filed under 9 classifications, and Pheasant's Eye has documented interactions with 7 drug classes — none of Moxifloxacin's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Pheasant's Eye interact with any other medications?
Yes. Pheasant's Eye has 156 documented drug interactions in our database — Moxifloxacin is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Moxifloxacin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Moxifloxacin has documented interactions with 155 supplements in our database — Pheasant's Eye is not one of them. The Moxifloxacin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
