Wood Sorrel + Griseofulvin
Griseofulvin brand names: Fulvicin PG, Fulvicin-U/F, Grisactin Ultra, Grisactin.
We found no known interaction between Wood Sorrel and Griseofulvin 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.
Wood Sorrel and Griseofulvin
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 Griseofulvin and Wood Sorrel 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 Sorrel at all — not against Griseofulvin, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Griseofulvin page
“If you take griseofulvin for a fungal infection of the skin, scalp, or nails, give this list of 61 ingredients real attention. The single major entry is activated charcoal, which binds the drug in your gut so less of it reaches your blood and the infection gets less treatment.”

About Wood Sorrel
What is Wood Sorrel?
- Digestive upset
- Mouth and throat soothing
- Mild diuretic
- Fever and thirst relief
- Wound and skin care (traditional)
Wood sorrel is a small, sour-tasting wild plant used in folk medicine and as a tangy edible green. There is very little modern research to support any health use, and its naturally high oxalic acid content means it should be used in small amounts. People with kidney problems, gout, or who are pregnant should be especially cautious.
Oxalis acetosella · Oxalidaceae · Leaves and aerial parts · Fresh leaves, tea, tincture, juice
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Wood Sorrel is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Wood Sorrel record says about it on its own.
Wood Sorrel: dosing
There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for wood sorrel. It has been used traditionally as fresh leaves, a tea, or a juice, but no reliable guidelines exist for how much is safe or effective.Because of its oxalic acid content, it is wise to keep any use to small amounts and avoid taking it regularly.

About Griseofulvin
What Is Griseofulvin Used For?
Brand names: Fulvicin PG, Fulvicin-U/F, Grisactin Ultra, Grisactin
Griseofulvin treats dermatophyte (ringworm-type) fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails that haven't cleared up with topical (cream or ointment) treatment alone. It is used for tinea corporis (ringworm of the body), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea barbae (ringworm of the beard area), tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp), and tinea unguium (fungal nail infection).
It only works against specific dermatophyte fungi. Griseofulvin does not treat bacterial infections, yeast infections (candidiasis), or other fungal infections such as histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, or tinea versicolor. A lab test or fungal culture should confirm the infection before treatment starts.
