Water Avens and Dapagliflozin

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 Dapagliflozin and Water Avens 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 Water Avens at all — not against Dapagliflozin, 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.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dapagliflozin.

About Water Avens

What is Water Avens?

  • Diarrhea and digestive upset
  • Sore throat and mouth irritation
  • Mild fever
  • General tonic
  • Astringent for minor wounds

Water avens is a traditional herb whose root has been used as an astringent for diarrhea, sore throats, and digestive complaints. There is very little modern scientific research to confirm that it works or to define a safe dose, so use it cautiously and talk with a pharmacist or doctor first.

Geum rivale · Rosaceae · Root and rhizome (occasionally aerial parts) · Dried root, tea/decoction, tincture

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

Water Avens: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for water avens. Traditional use involved teas (decoctions) of the dried root or tinctures, but reliable, research-based dosing is not available.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Dapagliflozin

What Is Dapagliflozin Used For?

Brand name: Farxiga

Dapagliflozin is used for several serious conditions. It helps improve blood sugar control in adults and children aged 10 and older with type 2 diabetes (alongside diet and exercise). It also reduces the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes who have established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

Farxiga (dapagliflozin) is additionally approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization, and urgent visits due to heart failure in adults with heart failure — and to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease, including reducing the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular death, in adults with chronic kidney disease at risk of getting worse.
