Pitcher Plant and Roflumilast

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 Roflumilast and Pitcher Plant 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 Pitcher Plant at all — not against Roflumilast, 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 Roflumilast’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Pitcher Plant. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Roflumilast’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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Diarrhea
  • A skin rash
  • Vomiting
  • Headache
  • Nausea

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Roflumilast page

“Roflumilast (Daliresp for severe COPD, Zoryve as a cream for skin conditions) is cleared almost entirely by one liver enzyme, CYP3A4, which is why 121 of the 141 supplements on this page can push its level up or down, and why real caution is warranted here. Start with the three rated major: grapefruit blocks that enzyme and can raise r…”

About Pitcher Plant

What is Pitcher Plant?

Pitcher Plant
  • Digestive complaints
  • Urinary tract issues
  • Smallpox (historical/traditional)
  • Pain relief
  • Skin conditions

Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea) is a carnivorous North American plant with a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine, but there is very little reliable human research to support any of its modern uses. Safety information is limited, so it should be used cautiously and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Sarracenia purpurea · Sarraceniaceae · Roots, leaves (pitchers), and whole plant · Tincture, dried herb, homeopathic preparations, capsules

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