Tansy + Almotriptan
Almotriptan brand names: Axert, Almogran.
We found no known interaction between Tansy and Almotriptan 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.
Tansy and Almotriptan
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 Almotriptan and Tansy 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.
Tansy safety at a glance
Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Almotriptan
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Almotriptan is filed under 4 classifications — including serotonergic drugs, serotonergic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Tansy has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being alcohol (ethanol) (major) — and none of Almotriptan’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.
Tansy Does Interact With Other Medications
Tansy has 1 major, known drug interaction in our database — Almotriptan isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Almotriptan
This page covers Tansy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Almotriptan page lists 154 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), Lithium (major), St. John's Wort (major) and 5-htp (moderate).
By severity: 4 major · 108 moderate · 42 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Almotriptan page
“St. John's wort sits at the top of my worry list for anyone taking almotriptan (Axert, Almogran) for migraines, because it revs up the CYP3A4 enzyme that clears the drug, which can leave you with less relief when the headache hits.”

About Tansy
What is Tansy?
- Intestinal worms and parasites
- Digestive upset
- Menstrual problems
- Insect repellent
- Skin and wound care (traditional)
Tansy is a traditional bitter herb that contains thujone, a compound that can be toxic in higher amounts. Because of real safety concerns and very limited modern evidence, most people should avoid taking tansy internally, and it should never be used during pregnancy.
Tanacetum vulgare · Asteraceae · Flowers, leaves, and essential oil · Tea, dried herb, tincture, essential oil
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Tansy is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Tansy record says about it on its own.
Tansy: dosing
There is no established safe or standardized dose of tansy. Never use the concentrated essential oil internally, and follow all product labels carefully. In most cases, a safer alternative is the better choice.

About Almotriptan
What Is Almotriptan Used For?
Brand names: Axert, Almogran
Almotriptan tablets are used to treat migraine headache attacks — with or without aura — as they happen. They are not for preventing migraines before they start.
In adults, almotriptan tablets treat acute migraine attacks. In adolescents ages 12 to 17, almotriptan tablets treat acute migraine headache pain in those who typically have attacks lasting 4 hours or more when untreated. Note that in adolescents, the effect on migraine-related symptoms such as nausea and light sensitivity was not established in clinical trials. Almotriptan is not indicated for cluster headache or for hemiplegic or basilar migraine.
