Sweet Clover + Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide brand names: Moduretic, Amilzide, Moduret 25, Amil-Co.

No Known Interaction

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Sweet Clover and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide 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 label for Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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

Sweet Clover and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

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 Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide and Sweet Clover 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.

Sweet Clover safety at a glance

Sweet Clover overall Use caution Generally used in small amounts, but its coumarin content can affect bleeding and the liver, so use cautiously.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information is available, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety is unknown while breastfeeding, so it is best avoided.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide is filed under 10 classifications — including potassium-sparing diuretics, thiazide diuretics, diuretic drugs. Sweet Clover has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and hepatotoxic drugs (moderate) — and none of Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide’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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Sweet Clover and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide 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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Liver problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    Sweet Clover

    “Orally, large amounts of sweet clover can cause transient liver injury in susceptible individuals (18). A 23-year-old female with multiple sclerosis (MS) developed jaundiced palms and a slight elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) without hyperbilirubinemia after taking a sweet clover supplement containing coumarin 10 mg daily.”

How to take them

Some Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide Products Have a Food Rule — Sweet Clover Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide says to take it with food. If you take Sweet Clover on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets should be administered with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

About Sweet Clover

What is Sweet Clover?

Sweet Clover
  • Varicose veins and poor circulation
  • Leg swelling (edema)
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Bruising and minor inflammation
  • Respiratory complaints

Sweet clover is a traditional European herb most often promoted for vein problems and leg swelling, but high-quality human evidence is limited. It contains coumarin, which can become dangerous if the plant spoils, so quality matters and you should talk to a pharmacist before using it.

Melilotus officinalis · Fabaceae · Above-ground parts (flowering tops, leaves, and stems) · Tea, dried herb, capsules, tincture, topical creams and ointments

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

Sweet Clover: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for sweet clover. Traditional use varies widely depending on whether it is taken as a tea, tincture, or capsule, and the coumarin content of different products can differ a lot.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them.

About Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide

What Is Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide Used For?

Brand names: Moduretic, Amilzide, Moduret 25, Amil-Co

Amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are used for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) or congestive heart failure who tend to develop low potassium (hypokalemia) when taking a thiazide or other diuretic alone — or for whom keeping potassium levels in a normal range is especially important, such as people taking digoxin or those with significant heart rhythm problems.

The tablets may be used on their own or alongside other blood pressure medicines, such as methyldopa or beta blockers. This combination product is not intended as the first-choice treatment for swelling (edema) or high blood pressure unless low potassium is a specific concern.

Taking Sweet Clover and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Sweet Clover with Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide?
