The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Wild Daisy and Tafenoquine 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 Tafenoquine states a food rule worth keeping to.

Wild Daisy and Tafenoquine

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 Tafenoquine and Wild Daisy 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 Wild Daisy at all — not against Tafenoquine, 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 Tafenoquine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Wild Daisy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Tafenoquine’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.

  • Low mood Worth acting on mentioned in 28.6% of FDA reports for Tafenoquine
  • Loss of vision Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 24 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 Tafenoquine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 70 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Tafenoquine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wild Daisy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Wild Daisy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Wild Daisy has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Tafenoquine Products Have a Food Rule — Wild Daisy Should Not Break It

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

( 2.1 ) Regimen Name Timing Dosage Loading regimen For each of the 3 days before travel to a malarious area 200 mg (2 of the 100 mg tablets) once daily for 3 days Maintenance regimen While in the malarious area 200 mg (2 of the 100 mg tablets) once weekly – start 7 days after the last loading regimen dose Terminal prophylaxis regimen In the week following exit from the malarious area 200 mg (2 of

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tafenoquine page

“Tafenoquine (Krintafel, Arakoda) protects against malaria, including the relapsing kind that hides in the liver, and every supplement known to interact with it threatens the same thing, how much of the pill actually reaches your blood. That deserves genuine care, since a partly absorbed antimalarial can let parasites survive and resurf…”

About Wild Daisy

What is Wild Daisy?

Wild Daisy
  • Bruises and minor wounds
  • Inflammation and swelling
  • Coughs and respiratory complaints
  • Digestive upset
  • Fluid retention ('water pill')
  • Skin conditions

Wild daisy (Bellis perennis) is a traditional European herb used mainly for bruises, minor wounds, and inflammation, but high-quality human evidence for any use is lacking. It is generally considered low-risk when used briefly on the skin, but people allergic to ragweed and related plants should be cautious, and it is best avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to limited safety data.

Bellis perennis · Asteraceae · Flowers and leaves (sometimes the whole flowering plant) · Tea, tincture, topical ointment or cream, homeopathic preparations, dried herb

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

Wild Daisy: dosing

There is no established, standardized dose for wild daisy. Because it has not been well studied in people, safe and effective amounts are not known.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Tafenoquine

What Is Tafenoquine Used For?

Brand names: Krintafel, Arakoda

Tafenoquine is used for two distinct purposes depending on the product. Arakoda and Kodatef are used for malaria prophylaxis — that is, preventing malaria in adults 18 and older who are traveling to or living in areas where malaria is present.

Krintafel is used for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax malaria — meaning it prevents the malaria parasite from coming back (relapsing) in patients 16 and older who are already being treated with chloroquine for an active P. vivax infection. Krintafel is not used to treat an active malaria attack on its own, and it should only be used alongside chloroquine, not other antimalarials.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Tafenoquine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (70 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Depression 20 reports
Anxiety 18 reports
Post-traumatic stress disorder 15 reports
Anger 14 reports
Nausea 14 reports
