Wallflower and Atovaquone, Proguanil

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 Atovaquone, Proguanil and Wallflower 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Atovaquone, Proguanil

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Atovaquone, Proguanil is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) substrates, seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. Wallflower has documented interactions with 6 drug classes — the most serious being corticosteroids (moderate), digoxin (lanoxin) (moderate) and diuretic drugs (moderate) — and none of Atovaquone, Proguanil’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

How to take them

Some Atovaquone, Proguanil Products Have a Food Rule — Wallflower Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Atovaquone, Proguanil says to take it with food. If you take Wallflower on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Atovaquone, Proguanil with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Atovaquone, Proguanil products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The daily dose should be taken at the same time each day with food or a milky drink.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Atovaquone, Proguanil — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

About Wallflower

What is Wallflower?

  • Heart-related folk tonic
  • Nervous tension
  • Joint and muscle aches (topical)
  • Menstrual complaints
  • As an ornamental and fragrance plant

Wallflower (Erysimum cheiri) is a fragrant garden plant with a long history in traditional medicine, but there is very little modern human research to support any health use. It contains cardiac glycoside-type compounds that can be toxic, so it should not be taken internally without professional guidance, and it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Erysimum cheiri · Brassicaceae · Flowers, leaves, seeds, and aerial parts · Dried herb, tincture, infusion (tea), and topical preparations

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

Wallflower: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for wallflower. It is not a mainstream supplement, and reliable dosing information from clinical research does not exist.If you come across a product that contains wallflower, follow the label exactly and do not exceed the suggested amount.

About Atovaquone and Proguanil

What Is Atovaquone and Proguanil Used For?

Brand name: Malarone

Atovaquone and proguanil is used for two purposes: preventing P. falciparum malaria before and during travel to areas where malaria is common, and treating an active, uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria infection. This includes regions where other antimalarials — such as chloroquine, mefloquine, halofantrine, and amodiaquine — may no longer be effective due to drug resistance.

Both the adult-strength and pediatric-strength tablet formulations share these same two approved uses. The brand Malarone is approved for both prevention and treatment of P. falciparum malaria in adults and in pediatric patients, with dosing based on body weight for children.
