Tormentil and Sacubitril, Valsartan

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 Sacubitril, Valsartan and Tormentil 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 Tormentil at all — not against Sacubitril, Valsartan, 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.

Tormentil overall Use caution Generally considered low-risk for short-term use, but human safety data are limited.

What to actually watch for

What Tormentil Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Sacubitril, Valsartan. It is the side-effect record for Tormentil on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Tormentil, this list is the first place to look.

  • Heartburn / Stomach pain Additional detail

    “Orally, tormentil has been reported to cause mild abdominal pain, heartburn, and feelings of fullness in one clinical trial. These adverse effects occurred at the same frequency for doses ranging from 1.2 grams daily to 3 grams daily.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Tormentil — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Sacubitril, Valsartan’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Sacubitril, Valsartan column appears here.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Sacubitril, Valsartan page

“Entresto (sacubitril and valsartan) is a heart failure medicine, and heart failure patients tend to be heavy supplement users, reaching for fish oil, potassium, and herbal blood-pressure remedies. That instinct carries real risk here.”

About Tormentil

What is Tormentil?

  • Diarrhea
  • Mouth and throat inflammation
  • Mild digestive upset
  • Sore throat (gargle)
  • Minor wounds and skin irritation

Tormentil is a traditional herb whose root is rich in tannins and has long been used for diarrhea and as a mouth rinse for sore gums or throat. Some small studies suggest it may help shorten diarrhea, but overall evidence is limited and quality is low. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding because safety is not established.

Potentilla erecta · Rosaceae · Root and rhizome (underground stem) · Tincture, liquid extract, tea, capsules, mouth rinse

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

Tormentil: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose for tormentil, and products vary widely in strength. Tinctures, extracts, teas, and capsules will each have different recommended amounts.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them. If you are using it as a mouth rinse, do not swallow large amounts.

About Valsartan and Sacubitril

What Is Valsartan and Sacubitril Used For?

Brand name: Entresto

Sacubitril and valsartan is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in adult patients with chronic heart failure. The benefit is most clearly seen in patients whose heart pumps with a lower-than-normal ejection fraction (the percentage of blood the heart pushes out with each beat).

It is also approved to treat symptomatic heart failure with reduced left ventricular function in children aged 1 year and older. In pediatric patients, it lowers a blood marker of heart stress (NT-proBNP) and is expected to improve heart outcomes.
