The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Vietnamese Coriander and Propoxyphene 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.

Vietnamese Coriander and Propoxyphene

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 Propoxyphene and Vietnamese Coriander 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 Vietnamese Coriander at all — not against Propoxyphene, 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.

What to actually watch for

What Propoxyphene’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Vietnamese Coriander. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Propoxyphene’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Propoxyphene. Read the label on DailyMed › Vietnamese Coriander’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Vietnamese Coriander side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Vietnamese Coriander has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Propoxyphene

This page covers Vietnamese Coriander only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Propoxyphene page lists 172 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Kava (major).

By severity: 8 major · 141 moderate · 23 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Propoxyphene page

“Propoxyphene (Darvon) is an opioid painkiller, and the biggest hazard among the 172 supplement interactions on file is anything else that slows the brain and breathing. Seventy-eight of these ingredients pile on that sedation, alcohol and kava among the worst rated, and with an opioid the combination can push breathing dangerously low.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Vietnamese Coriander is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Vietnamese Coriander reference on this page ↓

  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Vietnamese Coriander

What is Vietnamese Coriander?

  • Flavoring food
  • Digestive upset
  • Antimicrobial uses
  • Reducing sexual desire (traditional)
  • Skin and wound care (traditional)

Vietnamese coriander (rau ram) is a fragrant Southeast Asian culinary herb traditionally used for digestion and as an antimicrobial. There is very little human research to support its medicinal uses, so it is best thought of as a flavorful food rather than a proven remedy. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid medicinal amounts, and anyone considering it as a supplement should check with a pharmacist or doctor.

Persicaria odorata · Polygonaceae · Leaves and stems · Fresh leaves (culinary herb), dried leaves, tea, essential oil

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

Vietnamese Coriander: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for Vietnamese coriander. It is most often used simply as a fresh culinary herb, added to dishes to taste.If you choose to use a tea or supplement product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Acetaminophen, Butalbital, and Caffeine

What Is Acetaminophen, Butalbital, and Caffeine Used For?

Brand names: Darvon, Prophene-65, Margesic, Davon

This three-ingredient combination — butalbital, acetaminophen, and caffeine — is used to relieve the symptoms of tension headache (also called muscle contraction headache). All supported products, including tablets, capsules, and oral solution, share this same approved use.

It is worth knowing that evidence for using this combination to treat repeated, frequent tension headaches over time is limited. Because butalbital can be habit-forming, extended or repeated use is not recommended.
