Winter Savory and Naloxone

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 Naloxone and Winter Savory 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.

Winter Savory safety at a glance

Winter Savory overall Use caution Likely safe as a food seasoning, but concentrated extracts and essential oil are not well studied in people.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid medicinal or essential oil amounts during pregnancy due to a lack of safety data.
Breastfeeding Use caution Food amounts are likely fine, but avoid concentrated supplements and the essential oil without medical advice.

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

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 Naloxone’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Winter Savory. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Naloxone’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. 7 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Chills
  • Tremor or shakiness

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

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Naloxone

This page covers Winter Savory only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Naloxone page lists 3 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (moderate), Gamma Butyrolactone (gbl) (moderate) and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (moderate).

By severity: 3 moderate.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Naloxone page

“The list of supplements that interact with naloxone, the emergency spray or injection (Narcan, Zimhi, Rivive) that reverses opioid overdoses, is short and unusual. All three entries are forms of the same substance: gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and two chemicals the body converts into it, GBL and 1,4-butanediol.”

About Winter Savory

What is Winter Savory?

  • Digestive upset and gas
  • Sore throat
  • Antimicrobial
  • Cough
  • Seasoning food

Winter savory is a culinary herb in the mint family used mainly to flavor food and, in folk medicine, to ease digestion and sore throats. Solid human research is very limited, so it should not be relied on to treat any health condition. It is generally considered safe in food amounts, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil call for more caution.

Satureja montana · Lamiaceae · Leaves, flowering tops, and essential oil · Culinary herb, tea, dried herb, capsules, essential oil

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

Winter Savory: dosing

There is no established, standardized medicinal dose for winter savory. Most people simply use it as a seasoning in cooking, which is considered the safest way to enjoy it.If you choose a tea, capsule, or essential oil product, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the suggested amount. Essential oils are very concentrated and require special handling and dilution.

About Naloxone Injection

What Is Naloxone Injection Used For?

Brand names: Narcan, Zimhi, Rivive

Naloxone Hydrochloride injection is used for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose — reversing dangerous slowing of breathing and loss of consciousness caused by opioids. It is also approved for use in pediatric patients of all ages.

Naloxone Hydrochloride injection is additionally indicated specifically for military personnel and chemical incident responders: for emergency treatment of patients 12 and older where high-potency opioids such as fentanyl analogues have been used as a chemical weapon, and for temporary protection against breathing and nervous system depression when entering an area contaminated with such opioids. Zimhi (naloxone HCl) is a pre-filled, single-dose injectable product approved for intramuscular or subcutaneous use in known or suspected opioid overdose.
