Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Siponimod and Red-spur Valerian. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however.

Red-spur Valerian Overview
Red spur valerian (Centranthus ruber) is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. It has pink or red flowers that bloom in the summer and can reach a height of up to 3 feet. It is also known as "Jupiter's beard" and "Devil's beard." In traditional medicine, red spur valerian has been used as a sedative and to promote sleep, as well as to treat digestive issues, and headaches. It should not be confused with a more commonly used herb, valerian (Valeriana officinalis). Red spur valerian and valerian are two different plants. While both are used in traditional medicine, they have different characteristics and uses.
