The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Wood Sage and Azilsartan 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.

Wood Sage and Azilsartan

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 Azilsartan and Wood Sage 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 Wood Sage at all — not against Azilsartan, 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.

Wood Sage safety at a glance

Wood Sage overall Use caution Human safety data is very limited, and some related Teucrium species have been linked to liver toxicity.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information exists, so avoid use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data is available, so avoid use while breastfeeding.

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

What Azilsartan’s Own FDA Label Lists

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

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Cough
  • Low blood pressure
  • Dizziness mentioned in 5.5% of FDA reports for Azilsartan
  • Itching
  • Tiredness mentioned in 4.4% of FDA reports for Azilsartan
  • Diarrhea mentioned in 5.4% of FDA reports for Azilsartan
  • A skin rash
  • Nausea mentioned in 4.5% of FDA reports for Azilsartan

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Azilsartan. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 4,183 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Azilsartan that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wood Sage’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Wood Sage side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Wood Sage has no side effects.

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Wood Sage is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Wood Sage reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Wood Sage and Azilsartan records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Wood Sage

What is Wood Sage?

  • Digestive upset
  • Sore throat and mouth rinse
  • Mild fevers and colds
  • Wound and skin washes (traditional)
  • Appetite stimulation

Wood sage (Teucrium scorodonia) is a wild herb in the mint family that has been used in traditional European folk medicine, mainly for digestion, sore throats, and minor wounds. There is very little modern scientific evidence to confirm it works for any health condition, and some related Teucrium species have been linked to liver harm, so caution is warranted. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Teucrium scorodonia · Lamiaceae · Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops) · Tea (infusion), tincture, dried herb

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

Wood Sage: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for wood sage. It has not been studied well enough to recommend a specific safe amount.Traditionally it was used as a weak tea made from the dried herb, or as a tincture, but historical recipes vary and are not a substitute for tested dosing. Avoid long-term use.

About Azilsartan

What Is Azilsartan Used For?

Brand name: Edarbi

Azilsartan medoxomil tablets — sold as both the generic Azilsartan Medoxomil and the brand Edarbi — are approved to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Bringing blood pressure down lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular events, especially stroke and heart attack.

The medication can be used on its own or alongside other blood pressure medicines. It is not a cure for high blood pressure, and managing the condition fully often involves lifestyle steps like limiting sodium, exercising, and quitting smoking.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Azilsartan

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (4,183 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Dizziness 231 reports
Diarrhea 226 reports
Hypertension 215 reports
Nausea 187 reports
Fatigue 182 reports
