Wild Carrot and Danazol

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

Moderate

PHOTOSENSITIZING DRUGS

Why this applies to Danazol

Danazol falls under PHOTOSENSITIZING DRUGS — the group Wild Carrot interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use might result in increased photosensitivity. Some drugs that cause photosensitivity include amitriptyline (Elavil), quinolones (Ciprofloxacin, others), sulfa drugs (Septra, Bactrim, others), and tetracycline.
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 explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for danazol and wild carrot. Wild carrot naturally contains compounds (called furanocoumarins) that can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Danazol itself can also leave some people a bit more prone to sunburn. So the concern here is simple: stacking the two together might make your skin burn or redden more easily than usual when you're out in the sun.

I want to be honest that this is a theoretical caution based on how these things work, not something proven in real patients, so don't be alarmed. If you do use both, just play it safe with sunscreen, a hat, and shade. And since wild carrot's benefits aren't well proven, it's worth running it by your pharmacist or doctor first.

This page covers Wild Carrot only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Danazol page lists 50 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Adrafinil (moderate), Alfalfa (moderate), Angelica Archangelica (moderate) and Arrach (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 38 moderate · 11 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Danazol page

“Activated charcoal carries the only major rating on danazol's list. Danazol treats endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, and hereditary angioedema, conditions where a weakened dose has real consequences, and charcoal can soak up the drug in the gut before it reaches the blood.”

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 Danazol

What Is Danazol Used For?

Brand names: Cyclomen, Danocrine

Danazol capsules are used to treat endometriosis — a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes infertility. It works by suppressing the hormonal cycle that drives this abnormal tissue growth.

Danazol capsules are also used to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema — a genetic condition that causes episodes of severe swelling in the skin, abdomen, face, and airway. All types of attacks (cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal) can be prevented with danazol.
