Wallflower and Hydrochlorothiazide, Labetalol

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

DIURETIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Hydrochlorothiazide, Labetalol

Hydrochlorothiazide, Labetalol falls under DIURETIC DRUGS — the group Wallflower interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use of potassium-depleting diuretics and wallflower can increase the risk of cardiac glycoside toxicity due to potassium depletion. Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Your combo pill, Trandate HCT, pairs hydrochlorothiazide (a 'water pill') with labetalol (a blood pressure medicine). The piece that matters here is the hydrochlorothiazide. Water pills like this can pull potassium out of your body over time. That's usually manageable, but it sets up the concern with wallflower.

Wallflower naturally contains heart-active compounds similar to digitalis. When your potassium runs low, the heart becomes more sensitive to those compounds, which can raise the risk of an irregular or dangerous heartbeat. This is a theoretical concern based on how these substances work, not something proven in studies, so I don't want to alarm you. Still, wallflower really shouldn't be taken internally. If you're considering it, please check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

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.
