The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Pink Root and Amisulpride 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.

Pink Root and Amisulpride

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 Amisulpride and Pink Root 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 Pink Root at all — not against Amisulpride, 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.

Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 9 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Amisulpride page

“Amisulpride (Barhemsys), given to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting after surgery, already carries its own warning about the heart's electrical rhythm. Every one of the 13 supplements and herbs on this list pushes the same way, lengthening the QT interval and raising the chance of a dangerous heart rhythm, so this is a list that des…”

About Pink Root

What is Pink Root?

  • Intestinal worms (anthelmintic)
  • Digestive complaints
  • Traditional folk remedy

Pink Root (Spigelia marilandica) is a North American plant that was historically used to expel intestinal worms. It contains potentially toxic compounds, has little modern safety or effectiveness data, and is rarely used today. We do not recommend self-treating with it; talk to a healthcare provider about safer, proven options.

Spigelia marilandica · Loganiaceae · Root and rhizome · Dried root, powder, tincture, tea (decoction)

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

Pink Root: dosing

There is no established, standardized safe dose of Pink Root for modern use. Historical doses are not considered reliable or safe by today's standards.Because of its potential toxicity, we do not recommend self-dosing.

About Amisulpride Injection

What Is Amisulpride Injection Used For?

Brand name: Barhemsys

Barhemsys (amisulpride injection) is approved for adults to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) — nausea and vomiting that can occur after surgery and anesthesia. It can be used alone or alongside another anti-nausea medicine from a different drug class.

Barhemsys is also used to treat PONV when it occurs after surgery, either in patients who already received a different anti-nausea medicine as prevention, or in patients who received no preventive anti-nausea treatment at all.
