Boneset

Boneset/Drug Interactions:

  • AntibacterialsAntibacterials: Based on an in vitro study, boneset may have weak antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (2).
  • Anti-inflammatory agentsAnti-inflammatory agents: Based on secondary sources, boneset may have anti-inflammatory effects.
  • AntiviralsAntivirals: Based on a low quality human study, homeopathic boneset may have antiviral effects (3).
  • DiureticsDiuretics: Based on secondary sources, boneset may cause excessive fluid loss from the body, possibly also decreasing the body's potassium supplies. Low potassium levels can result in muscle weakness and potentially dangerous changes in heart rhythm.
  • Hepatotoxic agentsHepatotoxic agents: According to secondary sources, hepatotoxic unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids are common in this genus and might be in boneset as well.
  • ImmunomodulatorsImmunomodulators: Based on a mouse study, boneset may increase phagocytosis (1).
