Pulsatilla + Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide brand names: Moduretic, Amilzide, Moduret 25, Amil-Co.

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 Pulsatilla and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide 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 label for Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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.

Pulsatilla and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

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 Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide and Pulsatilla 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 Pulsatilla at all — not against Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide, 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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Pulsatilla and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide 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.

  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    Pulsatilla

    “Orally, fresh pulsatilla is a toxic gastrointestinal irritant (4,19). It can also cause kidney and urinary tract irritation (2).

    Topically, contact with the fresh plant can cause skin irritation, mucous membrane irritation, itching, and pustule formation known as ranunculus dermatitis (2).”

How to take them

Some Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide Products Have a Food Rule — Pulsatilla Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide says to take it with food. If you take Pulsatilla on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets should be administered with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

About Pulsatilla

What is Pulsatilla?

  • Menstrual and PMS-related complaints
  • Anxiety, moodiness, and weepiness (traditional/homeopathic)
  • Earache and cold symptoms (homeopathic)
  • Eye irritation and sinus complaints
  • Sleep and restlessness

Pulsatilla is a flowering plant in the buttercup family that is most often used today in homeopathic (highly diluted) preparations. The fresh plant is toxic and irritating, so it must never be eaten raw, and high-quality human evidence for its benefits is lacking. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using any Pulsatilla product, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Pulsatilla vulgaris · Ranunculaceae · Aerial parts (dried whole flowering plant); used dried, never fresh · Homeopathic pellets and liquid dilutions, dried herb, tincture

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

Pulsatilla: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose of Pulsatilla for any health condition. Homeopathic products come in different potencies (such as 6C or 30C) and are dosed according to the label or a practitioner's directions, not by milligrams.Because the raw plant is toxic, you should never make or take a homemade preparation.

About Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide

What Is Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide Used For?

Brand names: Moduretic, Amilzide, Moduret 25, Amil-Co

Amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are used for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) or congestive heart failure who tend to develop low potassium (hypokalemia) when taking a thiazide or other diuretic alone — or for whom keeping potassium levels in a normal range is especially important, such as people taking digoxin or those with significant heart rhythm problems.

The tablets may be used on their own or alongside other blood pressure medicines, such as methyldopa or beta blockers. This combination product is not intended as the first-choice treatment for swelling (edema) or high blood pressure unless low potassium is a specific concern.
