No Known Interaction

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Rose Hip and Lidocaine 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.

Interaction report

Rose Hip and Lidocaine

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 Lidocaine and Rose Hip 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.

Rose Hip safety at a glance

Rose Hip overall Use caution Generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety is less studied.
Pregnancy Use caution Food amounts are likely fine, but avoid concentrated supplements unless your doctor approves.
Breastfeeding Use caution Not enough reliable safety data on supplement doses, so use caution.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Lidocaine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lidocaine is filed under 5 classifications — including anesthesia, cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates, topical drugs. Rose Hip has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — the most serious being alkylating agents (moderate), aluminum (moderate) and anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) — and none of Lidocaine’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 Rose Hip and Lidocaine 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.

    Lidocaine

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lidocaine, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Rose Hip but not commonly for Lidocaine: stomach upset, stomach pain, diarrhea and constipation.

Effects for Lidocaine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Rose Hip come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 96,036 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Lidocaine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

This page covers Rose Hip only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Lidocaine page lists 145 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Fever Bark (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), 1,3-dmaa (moderate) and Acacia Rigidula (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 111 moderate · 31 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lidocaine page

“Lidocaine (Xylocaine) deserves genuine care on this page, and I would learn its three major-rated entries first. Grapefruit and St.”

About Rose Hip

What is Rose Hip?

Rose Hip
  • Joint pain and osteoarthritis
  • Colds and flu
  • Source of vitamin C
  • Digestive complaints
  • Anti-inflammatory support

Rose hip is the vitamin C–rich fruit of the wild rose, used traditionally for colds and joint pain. A standardized rose hip powder has some research support for easing osteoarthritis symptoms, but evidence for most other uses is limited. It is generally well tolerated as a food, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it as a supplement.

Rosa canina · Rosaceae · Fruit (hips), including the seeds and outer flesh · Tea, capsules, tablets, powder, syrup, dried fruit, extracts

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

Rose Hip: dosing

There is no single official dose for rose hip. The amount used in osteoarthritis research has been a standardized powder taken daily, but products on the market vary widely in strength and vitamin C content.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

About Lidocaine Transdermal Patch

What Is Lidocaine Transdermal Patch Used For?

Brand names: Xylocaine, Dilocaine, Lidoject-1, Xylocaine MPF, Nervocaine, Lidoject-2, Duo-Trach Kit, Octocaine, Lidoderm, Ztlido

Lidocaine skin patches are applied directly to the painful area to treat post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) — the persistent burning or aching nerve pain that can remain after a shingles outbreak.

Lidoderm (lidocaine patch 5%) and ZTlido (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) are both indicated for this use in adults. Note that despite their different strengths, one ZTlido topical system provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm patch.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Lidocaine

Taking Rose Hip and Lidocaine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Rose Hip with Lidocaine?
We do not list a known interaction between Rose Hip and Lidocaine. 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 Rose Hip and Lidocaine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 5 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 Rose Hip and Lidocaine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Lidocaine is filed under 5 classifications, and Rose Hip has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — none of Lidocaine'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 Rose Hip interact with any other medications?
Yes. Rose Hip has 213 documented drug interactions in our database — Lidocaine 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 Lidocaine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lidocaine has documented interactions with 145 supplements in our database — Rose Hip is not one of them. The Lidocaine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
