No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Wild Carrot and Hydrocodone 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.

Wild Carrot and Hydrocodone

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 Hydrocodone and Wild Carrot 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.

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.

Wild Carrot safety at a glance

Wild Carrot overall Use caution Generally used in folk medicine, but human safety data are limited and the seeds may carry more risk.
Pregnancy Likely Unsafe When used orally. The seeds, oil, and above ground parts can cause uterine stimulant, abortifacient, and menstrual stimulant effects. BREAST-FEEDING: Read the full pregnancy detail
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information is available, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Hydrocodone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Hydrocodone is filed under 6 classifications — including narcotic drugs, cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates, cns depressants. Wild Carrot has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being antihypertensive drugs (moderate), estrogens (moderate) and lithium (moderate) — and none of Hydrocodone’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Wild Carrot Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Hydrocodone. It is the side-effect record for Wild Carrot on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Wild Carrot, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, excessive doses of wild carrot seed oil might cause renal irritation or neurological effects. Hypersensitivity reactions and increased sensitivity to UV light and sunburn might also occur (4,19).

    Topically, contact with the plant can cause dermatitis (4).”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Wild Carrot — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Hydrocodone’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Hydrocodone column appears here.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Hydrocodone

This page covers Wild Carrot only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Hydrocodone page lists 212 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Grapefruit (major).

By severity: 9 major · 164 moderate · 39 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Hydrocodone page

“Most people taking hydrocodone (Zohydro ER) are treating real pain, and pain wrecks sleep, so sedating supplements look tempting. They are the worst pairing on this page: 78 of the 212 interacting ingredients add to hydrocodone's sedation, which with an opioid can mean dangerously slowed breathing.”

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.

Daucus carota · Apiaceae · Seeds, root, leaves, and flowers; sometimes the essential oil · Tea, dried herb, tincture, capsules, seed extract, essential oil

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

Wild Carrot: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for wild carrot. Traditional preparations vary widely, and the strength of teas, tinctures, capsules, and seed extracts is not consistent between products.If you choose to use a wild carrot product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount. Because quality and potency can differ, choose products from reputable brands.

About Hydrocodone

What Is Hydrocodone Used For?

Brand names: Hydrocodone, Zohydro ER

Hydrocodone extended-release products are used to manage severe and persistent pain that requires daily, long-term treatment with an opioid and cannot be adequately controlled with other options, including immediate-release opioids.

These products are not intended for use on an as-needed basis. They are reserved for patients whose pain cannot be managed with non-opioid medicines or shorter-acting opioid products.
