The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Vietnamese Coriander and Vigabatrin 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 Vigabatrin

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 Vigabatrin 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 Vigabatrin, 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 Vigabatrin’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 Vigabatrin’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.

  • Seizures Worth acting on mentioned in 21.4% of FDA reports for Vigabatrin
  • Mania or an unusually elevated mood Worth acting on
  • Loss of vision Worth acting on
  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 54 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Vigabatrin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 14,291 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Vigabatrin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. 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.

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 Vigabatrin

What Is Vigabatrin Used For?

Brand name: Sabril

Vigabatrin is used to treat two types of seizure conditions. For refractory complex partial seizures (seizures that have not responded well to other treatments), vigabatrin oral solution and tablets are used as an add-on therapy in patients 2 years of age and older — it is not a first-line treatment. Sabril, Vigadrone, and vigabatrin-branded products carry this indication.

For infantile spasms — a specific type of seizure disorder in very young children — vigabatrin oral solution is used as a standalone (monotherapy) treatment in infants 1 month to 2 years of age. Vigafyde oral solution is indicated specifically for infantile spasms monotherapy in this same age group. In all cases, treatment is only appropriate when the potential benefits outweigh the risk of permanent vision loss.
