Wallflower and Ergoloid Mesylates

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 Ergoloid Mesylates 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 Ergoloid Mesylates

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ergoloid Mesylates is filed under 2 classifications — ergot derivatives, 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 Ergoloid Mesylates’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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ergoloid Mesylates page

“Before you add any supplement while taking ergoloid mesylates (Hydergine), a medicine prescribed for age-related declines in memory and thinking, look hard at this list, because one item on it can effectively wipe out a dose.

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
