Drug & supplement interaction

Sage + Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride

Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride brand name: Clorotekal.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Oct 4, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride 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

Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride

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 Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride and Sage 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.

Sage safety at a glance

Sage overall Use caution Generally safe as a food and short-term as tea, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil should be used cautiously.

Breastfeeding Possibly Unsafe When used orally; sage is thought to reduce the supply of mother's milk. Read the full breastfeeding detail

Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride is filed under a single classification — anesthesia. Sage has documented interactions with 14 drug classes — the most serious being anticholinergic drugs (moderate), anticonvulsants (moderate) and antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride’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.

Keep it in perspective

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride 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.

Seizures Worth acting on Additional detail
Sage
“Orally, sage can cause dizziness or agitation. Thujone, a constituent of common sage (Salvia officinalis), is a neurotoxin and can cause seizures. Camphor and cineol, constituents of common sage and Spanish sage, can also cause neurotoxicity and seizures in high doses. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures have been reported in adults, children, and infants after ingestion of sage oil.”

Reported for Sage but not commonly for Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride: stomach pain, a skin rash and diarrhea.

Effects for Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Sage come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 138 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride 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.

About Sage

What is Sage?

Sore throat and mouth irritation
Digestive upset
Excessive sweating
Memory and thinking
Menopause symptoms (hot flashes)
General antioxidant support

Sage is a common kitchen herb that is generally safe in food amounts and is traditionally used for sore throats, digestion, sweating, and memory. Some early research is encouraging for sore throat and menopausal hot flashes, but most uses are not well proven. Concentrated extracts and the essential oil should be used carefully because high doses contain a compound called thujone, which can be harmful.

Salvia officinalis · Lamiaceae · Leaves and essential oil · Tea, capsules, tablets, tincture/extract, essential oil, lozenges, mouth rinse/gargle

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

Sage: dosing

There is no single official or standardized dose of sage, and the right amount depends on the form and the product. Sage tea, gargles, capsules, and extracts all differ in strength.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Sage with Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride?

We do not list a known interaction between Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride. 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 Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride 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 Sage and Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride is filed under 1 classification, and Sage has documented interactions with 14 drug classes — none of Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride'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 Sage interact with any other medications?

Yes. Sage has 1,297 documented drug interactions in our database — Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride 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 Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride interact with any supplements?

Yes. Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride has documented interactions with 5 supplements in our database — Sage is not one of them. The Chloroprocaine Hydrochloride interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
