Drug & supplement interaction

Timothy Grass + Clozapine

Clozapine brand names: Clozaril, Versacloz.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Timothy Grass and Clozapine 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.

Timothy Grass and Clozapine

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 Clozapine and Timothy Grass 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 Timothy Grass at all — not against Clozapine, 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.

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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Timothy Grass and Clozapine 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

    “Timothy grass pollen is a common airborne allergen, causing allergic rhinitis in sensitive individuals. It is highly cross reactive with a variety of other grasses.

    Clozapine

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Clozapine. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Timothy Grass but not commonly for Clozapine: sore throat, hives, a stuffy or runny nose and itching.

Effects for Clozapine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Timothy Grass come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 124,830 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Clozapine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Clozapine

This page covers Timothy Grass only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Clozapine page lists 212 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Henbane (major), Indian Snakeroot (major), Lithium (major) and Rauvolfia Vomitoria (major).

By severity: 6 major · 164 moderate · 42 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clozapine page

“Clozapine (Clozaril, Versacloz) is usually the last-resort antipsychotic for schizophrenia, prescribed under close monitoring because small shifts in its blood level matter, so the 212 supplement interactions on file here deserve genuine care rather than a quick skim. Six are rated major.”

About Timothy Grass

What is Timothy Grass?

  • Grass pollen allergy (hay fever)
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Allergic conjunctivitis (itchy, watery eyes)
  • Allergy desensitization (immunotherapy)
  • Allergy testing

Timothy grass is a common grass whose pollen is a major cause of seasonal hay fever. In medicine, a purified, standardized form of its pollen is used in prescription allergy immunotherapy tablets and shots to gradually reduce allergic reactions. It is not a typical dietary supplement, and any product containing timothy grass allergen should be used only under medical supervision.

Phleum pratense · Poaceae · Pollen (used to make allergy extracts and immunotherapy products) · Sublingual immunotherapy tablets, allergen extracts for allergy testing and allergy shots

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

Timothy Grass: dosing

There is no general supplement dose for timothy grass. The amount of allergen in immunotherapy products is carefully standardized by the manufacturer, and the right product and schedule depend on the individual.Sublingual tablets are usually taken once daily, often started before grass pollen season and continued as directed. Allergy shots follow a build-up and then maintenance schedule set by an allergist.Because dosing is specific and reactions are possible, you should only use timothy grass allergen products exactly as prescribed.

About Clozapine

What Is Clozapine Used For?

Brand names: Clozaril, Versacloz

Clozapine is used for two specific situations. First, it is prescribed for people with severe schizophrenia who have already tried other antipsychotic medications and have not gotten adequate relief. It is reserved for this group because of its serious risks.

Second, clozapine is used to lower the chances of repeated suicidal behavior in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are considered to be at ongoing, chronic risk. It is not a first-choice medication — it is used when the need is serious and other options have fallen short.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Clozapine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (124,830 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Neutropenia 18,897 reports
Hospitalisation 12,426 reports
Schizophrenia 4,692 reports
White blood cell count increased 4,508 reports

Taking Timothy Grass and Clozapine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Timothy Grass with Clozapine?
We do not list a known interaction between Timothy Grass and Clozapine. 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 Timothy Grass and Clozapine 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 Clozapine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Clozapine has documented interactions with 212 supplements in our database — Timothy Grass is not one of them. The Clozapine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
