Water Germander and Tedizolid Phosphate

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 Tedizolid Phosphate and Water Germander 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 Germander at all — not against Tedizolid Phosphate, 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 Tedizolid Phosphate’s Own FDA Label Lists

Showing the 10 most notable of 21 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 Tedizolid Phosphate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 785 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Tedizolid Phosphate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Water Germander’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Water Germander side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Water Germander has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tedizolid Phosphate page

“Nearly every supplement interaction on file for tedizolid phosphate (Sivextro), an antibiotic used for serious skin infections, points the same way. The antibiotic can kill the live organisms in probiotic products, which weakens the probiotic, not the drug.”

About Water Germander

What is Water Germander?

  • Digestive upset
  • Weight loss aids
  • Fever
  • Oral hygiene and mouthwash
  • Gout

Water germander (often sold as the related plant wall germander, Teucrium chamaedrys) is a Mediterranean herb traditionally used for digestion and other ailments. Its oral use has been clearly linked to serious liver damage, including hepatitis and even death, so it is considered likely unsafe to take by mouth. We recommend avoiding it and talking to your pharmacist or doctor about safer options.

Teucrium chamaedrys · Lamiaceae · Aerial parts (leaves, flowering tops) · Tea, capsules, tinctures, liquid extracts

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