No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Rye Grass and Hydroxyzine 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.

Rye Grass and Hydroxyzine

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 Hydroxyzine and Rye Grass 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 Rye Grass at all — not against Hydroxyzine, 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.

Rye Grass safety at a glance

Rye Grass overall Use caution Generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety is not well established.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

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

What to actually watch for

What Rye Grass Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Hydroxyzine. It is the side-effect record for Rye Grass on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Rye Grass, this list is the first place to look.

  • Heartburn / Nausea Additional detail

    “Orally, rye grass pollen extract can cause abdominal distention, heartburn, and nausea.”

    Rye Grass · Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, reported in dyspepsia.

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Rye Grass — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Hydroxyzine’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Hydroxyzine column appears here.

About Rye Grass

What is Rye Grass?

  • Prostate symptoms (BPH)
  • Chronic prostatitis
  • Urinary symptoms
  • General wellness/nutrition
  • Allergy desensitization (research only)

Rye grass pollen extract is most often used as a supplement for prostate-related urinary symptoms, where some small studies suggest a possible benefit, but the overall evidence is limited and not conclusive. It is generally well tolerated, but it is not a proven treatment, and you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using it, especially if you have prostate or urinary problems.

Secale cereale · Poaceae · Pollen extract, grass (leaves), and seeds/grain · Tablets, capsules, pollen extracts, and dried grass powders

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

About Hydroxyzine

What Is Hydroxyzine Used For?

Brand names: Atarax, Vistaril, Ucerax

Hydroxyzine is used to relieve anxiety and tension related to psychoneurosis (anxiety-based mental health conditions) and as a supportive treatment when anxiety is part of another medical condition. Oral forms — including tablets, capsules, and oral solution — are used for anxiety relief and to manage itching (pruritus) caused by allergic conditions such as chronic urticaria (hives), atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and histamine-driven itch. Oral forms are also used as a sedative before and after surgery or general anesthesia.

Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride intramuscular injection is used specifically when a shot is needed — for example, in acute psychiatric or emotional emergencies, acute alcohol withdrawal with anxiety symptoms or delirium tremens, control of nausea and vomiting (except during pregnancy), and as pre- and post-operative or pre- and post-partum supportive medication to reduce narcotic requirements and control nausea.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Hydroxyzine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (50,845 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Pruritus 3,383 reports
Nausea 3,067 reports
Fatigue 2,961 reports
