Drug & supplement interaction

Shilajit + Scopolamine

Scopolamine brand names: Scopace, Scopolamine Injection, Transderm Scop.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Shilajit and Scopolamine 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

Shilajit and Scopolamine

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 Scopolamine and Shilajit 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.

Shilajit safety at a glance

Shilajit overall Use caution Unpurified products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so only use purified, tested brands.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data and contamination risk, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety is unknown while breastfeeding, so avoid it.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Scopolamine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Scopolamine is filed under 4 classifications — including anticholinergic drugs, topical drugs, oral drugs. Shilajit has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Scopolamine’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 Shilajit and Scopolamine May Share a Side Effect

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.

    Scopolamine

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

Reported for Shilajit but not commonly for Scopolamine: raised blood pressure, low potassium, a severe allergic reaction and swelling.

Effects for Scopolamine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Shilajit come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 6,682 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Scopolamine 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Scopolamine

This page covers Shilajit only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Scopolamine page lists 51 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), Henbane (major), Scopolia (major) and Angel's Trumpet (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 34 moderate · 13 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Scopolamine page

“Scopolamine, the motion sickness medicine most people wear as the Transderm Scop patch, sits on the serious end of supplement interactions, so learn the four major entries first. Most of the 51 ingredients here, 30 of them, pile the same anticholinergic side effects on top of the drug: dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, confusion.”

About Shilajit

What is Shilajit?

  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Male fertility and testosterone support
  • General vitality and aging
  • Athletic performance
  • Cognitive support

Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance found in rocks of mountain ranges like the Himalayas, used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for energy and vitality. Human evidence is limited and mostly small or early-stage, so its real benefits are uncertain. Quality and purity vary widely, and contamination with heavy metals is a real concern, so choose tested products and talk to your pharmacist before use.

Mineral exudate (resin) from rock layers · Resin, capsules, powder, tablets

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

Shilajit: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for shilajit, and products vary a lot in strength and form. Choose products that have been independently tested for heavy metals and contaminants.

About Scopolamine Transdermal Patch

What Is Scopolamine Transdermal Patch Used For?

Brand names: Scopace, Scopolamine Injection, Transderm Scop

Scopolamine Transdermal System (also sold as Transderm Scōp) is approved for adults to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness. You apply it before travel to help stop queasiness before it starts.

It is also used to prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) — the nausea and vomiting that can follow surgery, anesthesia, or opioid pain medicines. Transderm Scōp is applied the evening before surgery (for surgeries other than cesarean section) and removed 24 hours after the procedure.

Taking Shilajit and Scopolamine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Shilajit with Scopolamine?
We do not list a known interaction between Shilajit and Scopolamine. 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 Shilajit and Scopolamine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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 Shilajit and Scopolamine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Scopolamine is filed under 4 classifications, and Shilajit has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Scopolamine'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 Shilajit interact with any other medications?
Yes. Shilajit has 86 documented drug interactions in our database — Scopolamine 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 Scopolamine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Scopolamine has documented interactions with 51 supplements in our database — Shilajit is not one of them. The Scopolamine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
