We found no known interaction between Summer Savory and Mitomycin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist.

Summer Savory and Mitomycin

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 Mitomycin and Summer Savory 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.

Summer Savory safety at a glance

Summer Savory overall Use caution Likely safe as a food seasoning, but medicinal amounts and the essential oil are not well studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid medicinal amounts during pregnancy because safety has not been established.
Breastfeeding Use caution Food amounts are likely fine, but avoid concentrated supplements due to lack of safety data.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Mitomycin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Mitomycin is filed under 3 classifications — antitumor antibiotics, topical drugs, oral drugs. Summer Savory has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) — and none of Mitomycin’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.

  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on

  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Mitomycin.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Mitomycin

This page covers Summer Savory only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Mitomycin page lists 26 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Acerola (moderate), Alpha-lipoic Acid (moderate), Coffee Charcoal (moderate) and Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 15 moderate · 10 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mitomycin page

“Activated charcoal is the entry to know first with mitomycin (Mutamycin, Mitosol, Jelmyto), a chemotherapy drug, because charcoal binds medications and can cut the amount the body receives, and it carries this list's only major rating. A weakened dose of a cancer treatment is a real loss, so I would treat these 26 interactions with gen…”

About Summer Savory

What is Summer Savory?

  • Digestive upset and gas
  • Sore throat and cough
  • Antimicrobial
  • Mild diarrhea
  • Seasoning/culinary use

Summer savory is a common kitchen herb that has long been used as a tea or remedy for digestive complaints and minor infections. Food amounts are generally considered safe, but human studies supporting its medicinal use are very limited, so don't rely on it to treat any health condition. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated extracts or the essential oil.

Satureja hortensis · Lamiaceae · Leaves, flowering tops, and essential oil · Culinary herb (fresh or dried), tea, essential oil, capsules/extracts

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

Summer Savory: dosing

There is no established standardized medicinal dose for summer savory. Most people use it simply as a culinary herb to taste, or as a mild tea made from the dried leaves.If you choose to use a commercial supplement, tea, or essential oil product, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them.

About Mitomycin

What Is Mitomycin Used For?

Brand names: Mutamycin, Mitosol, Jelmyto

Mitomycin (and its brand Mutamycin) is used intravenously in combination with other chemotherapy drugs to treat disseminated adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer that has spread) of the stomach or pancreas, when other treatments have not worked. It is not intended to replace surgery or radiation therapy.

Mitomycin is also the active ingredient in other products for different uses: Jelmyto treats low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (cancer of the upper urinary tract); Zusduri treats recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer; and Mitosol is used as a surgical aid during certain glaucoma eye surgery. These are separate products with distinct indications and are not interchangeable with the intravenous injection form.
