Wild Carrot and Bosentan

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Bosentan

Bosentan falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Wild Carrot interacts with.

Theoretically, excessive doses of wild carrot seed oil might interfere with antihypertensive therapy due to cardiotonic effects.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

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

Here's the short version: bosentan (Tracleer) is used to relax the blood vessels in your lungs and ease pulmonary arterial hypertension. The concern on file is that concentrated wild carrot seed oil may have mild heart and blood-pressure effects of its own, which could theoretically push against the work your bosentan is doing to lower pressure in those lung vessels.

I want to be honest about how soft this evidence is. It's theoretical, based on the plant's chemistry rather than real studies in people, and ordinary culinary carrot is not the issue here. Even so, since you're managing a serious lung condition, I'd loop in your pharmacist or doctor before adding wild carrot supplements rather than starting them on your own.

About Wild Carrot

What is Wild Carrot?

Wild Carrot
  • Urinary and bladder complaints
  • Digestive upset and gas
  • Menstrual support
  • Supporting milk production
  • Mild diuretic (water pill) effect

Wild carrot is a traditional herb (the wild ancestor of the garden carrot) used mostly for urinary, digestive, and menstrual complaints. High-quality human studies are lacking, so its benefits are unproven, and it should be avoided in pregnancy because of traditional use to affect the uterus. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

About Bosentan

What Is Bosentan Used For?

Brand name: Tracleer

Bosentan is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) — high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. In adults, it helps improve the ability to exercise and slows how quickly the disease gets worse.

In children aged 3 years and older with idiopathic (no known cause) or congenital (present from birth) PAH, bosentan is used to lower resistance in the lung blood vessels, which is expected to improve exercise ability. Tracleer is one brand approved for both adults and pediatric patients with PAH.
