Teazle and Cyclizine

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

Moderate

ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Cyclizine

Cyclizine falls under ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS — the group Teazle interacts with.

In vitro research suggests that teazle extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, concurrent use of anticholinergic drugs and teazle might decrease the effectiveness of teazle or the anticholinergic agent.
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, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for Cyclizine (Marezine), which is an antihistamine used for nausea and motion sickness. Part of how it works is by blocking the action of a body chemical called acetylcholine. Some early lab studies hint that teazle may push acetylcholine levels up by slowing the enzyme that breaks it down. If that happens in real life, the two could tug in opposite directions and slightly blunt each other's effects, so your cyclizine might not control your queasiness quite as well, and the teazle may be less effective too.

Keep in mind this is purely theoretical, based on test-tube work, not on people taking both together. A real-world bump is unlikely, but if you're using teazle, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Cyclizine page

“Cyclizine (Marezine) is an antihistamine for motion sickness and vertigo, and it already dries the mouth, blurs vision, and slows the gut through its anticholinergic action. That built-in effect is why this list of 46 supplements warrants genuine care, starting with the three rated major.”

About Teazle

What is Teazle?

Teazle
  • Lyme disease (folk use)
  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Skin conditions such as psoriasis
  • Wound healing

Teazle (Dipsacus fullonum) is a spiky plant used in traditional and folk medicine, most notably as a tincture marketed for Lyme disease and for joint pain and skin problems. There is very little high-quality human research to support any of these uses, so its benefits remain unproven. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and never use it to replace standard treatment for serious infections like Lyme disease.
