Interaction with Sedatives

Calendula may have sedative effects, potentially enhancing the effects of other sedatives. Use with caution when combined with other sedative medications.

Theoretically, calendula possesses sedative properties. Concurrent use of calendula with other sedatives or medications with sedative effects may lead to additive sedative effects, potentially resulting in increased drowsiness, dizziness, impaired coordination, and reduced alertness. The severity of these effects may vary depending on the individual, the dosage of calendula, and the specific sedatives or medications involved. Due to limited evidence, the exact nature and extent of this interaction remain unclear.
