Drug & supplement interaction

Tagetes + Dextroamphetamine

Dextroamphetamine brand name: Dexedrine.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Tagetes and Dextroamphetamine 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.

Tagetes and Dextroamphetamine

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 Dextroamphetamine and Tagetes 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Tagetes at all — not against Dextroamphetamine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

Tagetes safety at a glance

Tagetes overall Use caution Generally considered low-risk in food amounts, but the essential oil and concentrated extracts can irritate skin and lack strong safety data.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid medicinal or essential oil use during pregnancy because safety has not been established.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information exists, so avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding.

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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Tagetes and Dextroamphetamine 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Dextroamphetamine

This page covers Tagetes only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Dextroamphetamine page lists 129 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Ephedra (major), Lithium (major), Peyote (major) and Rauvolfia Vomitoria (major).

By severity: 6 major · 100 moderate · 23 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dextroamphetamine page

“Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) is a stimulant for ADHD and narcolepsy, and I read this list with genuine wariness. Six of the 129 ingredients rate major, most of them because other stimulants, ephedra being the clearest, pile extra heart rate and blood pressure on top of what the drug already produces.”

About Tagetes

What is Tagetes?

  • Digestive upset
  • Antimicrobial and antifungal
  • Skin and wound care
  • Insect repellent
  • Eye health (lutein source from petals)

Tagetes (marigold) is a group of flowering plants used in traditional medicine and as a source of plant pigments like lutein. Human evidence for most health benefits is very limited, and the essential oil can cause skin reactions and sun sensitivity. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Asteraceae · Flowers, leaves, and essential oil · Essential oil, tea, dried flowers, topical preparations, tinctures

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

Tagetes: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for Tagetes as a supplement or medicine. Products vary widely in strength, and the amount of active compounds depends on the species, plant part, and how it was prepared.If you choose to use a Tagetes product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. Essential oils should be diluted before any skin use and kept away from the eyes and mouth.

About Dextroamphetamine

What Is Dextroamphetamine Used For?

Brand name: Dexedrine

Dextroamphetamine treats two conditions: ADHD and narcolepsy (a sleep disorder causing uncontrollable daytime sleepiness). It is available in multiple forms — tablets, extended-release capsules, oral solution, and a skin patch — and the approved age ranges vary by product.

Oral tablets (Zenzedi, generic) and oral solutions (Procentra, generic) are approved for ADHD in children as young as 3 years old and for narcolepsy. Extended-release capsules (Dexedrine, generic) are approved for ADHD in children ages 6 to 16 and for narcolepsy. Xelstrym, the transdermal patch, is approved only for ADHD — in adults and children ages 6 and older — and is not indicated for narcolepsy.

Taking Tagetes and Dextroamphetamine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Tagetes with Dextroamphetamine?
We do not list a known interaction between Tagetes and Dextroamphetamine. 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 Tagetes and Dextroamphetamine 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.
Does Dextroamphetamine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Dextroamphetamine has documented interactions with 129 supplements in our database — Tagetes is not one of them. The Dextroamphetamine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
