Medically reviewed by · Updated June 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between White Lily and Clomipramine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Clomipramine states a food rule worth keeping to.

White Lily and Clomipramine

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 Clomipramine and White Lily 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 White Lily at all — not against Clomipramine, 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.

White Lily safety at a glance

White Lily overall Use caution Mostly used topically with limited safety data; skin reactions are possible.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data while breastfeeding, so avoid use.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

What Clomipramine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves White Lily. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Clomipramine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Loss of vision Worth acting on
  • A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • A bowel blockage Worth acting on
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Clomipramine. Read the label on DailyMed › White Lily’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no White Lily side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that White Lily has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Clomipramine Products Have a Food Rule — White Lily Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Clomipramine says to take it with food. If you take White Lily on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Clomipramine 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 Clomipramine 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.

During initial titration, Anafranil should be given in divided doses with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Clomipramine — 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Clomipramine

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clomipramine page

“A tricyclic antidepressant used mostly for OCD, clomipramine (Anafranil) is unforgiving of shifts in its blood level, which is why its 236 supplement interactions deserve genuine wariness. Most of the list involves metabolism: herbs that speed up or slow down the liver enzymes handling clomipramine can drag its level too low or push it…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. White Lily is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every White Lily reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The White Lily and Clomipramine records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About White Lily

What is White Lily?

  • Skin soothing and minor wounds
  • Burns and skin irritation
  • Cosmetic and anti-aging skin care
  • Corns and calluses (traditional)
  • Inflamed or chapped skin

White Lily (Lilium candidum) is a flowering plant used mostly in traditional skin care, where its bulb- or flower-infused oils are applied for minor skin problems and soothing. Good-quality human studies are very limited, so most of its reputation comes from folk use rather than strong science. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have sensitive skin.

Lilium candidum · Liliaceae · Bulbs and flowers (sometimes prepared as oil or ointment) · Topical oils, ointments, infused oil, creams, and traditional poultices

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

White Lily: dosing

There is no established standardized dose for White Lily. It is sold mostly as topical oils, creams, and ointments, and amounts vary widely between products.If you use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and apply only to the skin unless a professional tells you otherwise.

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