Sorrel and Aspirin, Omeprazole

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Aspirin, Omeprazole

Aspirin, Omeprazole falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Sorrel interacts with.

Theoretically, sorrel might cause additive effects and side effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, sorrel has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the deal with Yosprala (which pairs aspirin with omeprazole) and sorrel. The aspirin part is already a blood thinner that keeps your platelets from clumping together. In lab dish studies, sorrel showed a similar platelet-slowing effect. So in theory, stacking the two could add up and make you bleed or bruise a little more easily, think nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or bruises that show up out of nowhere.

That said, this is only based on test-tube work, not real people. A little sorrel in cooking is very unlikely to cause trouble. Concentrated supplement doses are more of a question mark. If you take sorrel regularly, just mention it to your pharmacist or doctor before changing anything.

“Yosprala pairs aspirin, a blood thinner, with omeprazole, an acid reducer whose job is to shield the stomach from that aspirin, so this list carries real weight and warrants genuine care. Of the 318 supplements and herbs on file, nine are rated major, and understanding those first matters more than reading the rest.”

  • Fever
  • Skin conditions and inflammation
