SAGE - Uses, Side Effects, and More

Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with SAGE

Sage might lower blood sugar levels. Taking sage along with diabetes medications might cause blood sugar to drop too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely.

Medications used to prevent seizures (Anticonvulsants) interacts with SAGE

Sage may increase the risk of seizures. Therefore, taking sage may decrease the effects of medications used to prevent seizures.

Drying medications (Anticholinergic drugs) interacts with SAGE

Sage can increase a chemical in the body called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine plays a big part in many important body functions. Some medications, called anticholinergic drugs, block the effects of acetylcholine in the body. Taking sage might decrease the effects of anticholinergic drugs.

Estrogens interacts with SAGE

Geraniol, a chemical in Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia), might have some of the same effects as estrogen. Taking large amounts of Spanish sage along with estrogen pills might change the effects of estrogen pills.

Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) substrates) interacts with SAGE

Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver. Sage might change how quickly the liver breaks down these medications. This could change the effects and side effects of these medications.

Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) substrates) interacts with SAGE

Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver. Sage might change how quickly the liver breaks down these medications. This could change the effects and side effects of these medications.

Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) substrates) interacts with SAGE

Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver. Sage might change how quickly the liver breaks down these medications. This could change the effects and side effects of these medications.

Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrates) interacts with SAGE

Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver. Sage might change how quickly the liver breaks down these medications. This could change the effects and side effects of these medications.

Medications for high blood pressure (Antihypertensive drugs) interacts with SAGE

Sage might lower blood pressure. Taking sage along with medications that lower blood pressure might cause blood pressure to go too low. Monitor your blood pressure closely.

Medications moved by pumps in cells (P-glycoprotein substrates) interacts with SAGE

Some medications are moved in and out of cells by pumps. Sage might change how these pumps work and change how much medication stays in the body. In some cases, this might change the effects and side effects of a medication.

Sedative medications (Benzodiazepines) interacts with SAGE

Sage might cause sleepiness and slowed breathing. Some medications, called sedatives, can also cause sleepiness and slowed breathing. Taking sage with sedative medications might cause breathing problems and/or too much sleepiness.

Various medications used for glaucoma, Alzheimer disease, and other conditions (Cholinergic drugs) interacts with SAGE

Sage can increase a chemical in the body called acetylcholine. Some medications that are used for glaucoma, Alzheimer disease, and other conditions, also increase acetylcholine levels. Taking sage with these medications might increase the chance of side effects.
