Drug & supplement interaction

Rose Hip + Pregabalin

Pregabalin brand names: Lyrica, Lyrica CR.

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 Rose Hip and Pregabalin 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 Pregabalin

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 Pregabalin 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 Pregabalin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pregabalin is filed under 3 classifications — including cns depressants, oral 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 Pregabalin’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Rose Hip and Pregabalin 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.

Overlapping uses

What Pregabalin Is Prescribed For, and What Rose Hip Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Pregabalin is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Rose Hip is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Pregabalin is prescribed for: Pregabalin is used to manage several types of nerve pain, including neuropathic pain from diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes) and postherpetic neuralgia (lingering nerve pain after shingles). It is also used to treat fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury. Lyrica (capsule and oral solution), pregabalin capsules, and pregabalin oral solution are also approved as add-on therapy for partial-onset seizures — Lyrica for patients 1 month and older, and pregabalin capsules for patients 17 years and older. Lyrica CR and pregabalin extended-release tablets are approved only for diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain and postherpetic neuralgia — their effectiveness for fibromyalgia or as seizure add-on therapy has not been established.

Rose Hip has been studied for:

  • Diabetes studied, not established Rose Hip has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Rose Hip for diabetes

    Although there has been interest in using oral rose hip for diabetes, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of rose hip for this condition.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Pregabalin on your own; if you are taking Rose Hip for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pregabalin page

“Pregabalin (Lyrica) calms overactive nerves, which is how it eases nerve pain, seizures, and anxiety, and that calming action stacks with almost everything on this list. Of the 95 supplements and herbs, the large majority add their own sedation on top of pregabalin's, and a few can tip that into genuine danger, with deep sedation and s…”

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.

Taking Rose Hip and Pregabalin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Rose Hip with Pregabalin?
We do not list a known interaction between Rose Hip and Pregabalin. 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 Pregabalin have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 10 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.
Are Rose Hip and Pregabalin used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Rose Hip in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Pregabalin is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Rose Hip and Pregabalin combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Pregabalin is filed under 3 classifications, and Rose Hip has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — none of Pregabalin'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 — Pregabalin 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 Pregabalin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Pregabalin has documented interactions with 95 supplements in our database — Rose Hip is not one of them. The Pregabalin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
