In vitro, purple nut sedge dose-dependently inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (27563). Theoretically, concurrent use of anticholinergic drugs and purple nut sedge might decrease the effectiveness of purple nut sedge or the anticholinergic agent.
Details
Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).

In vitro, purple nut sedge inhibits platelet aggregation (27551). Theoretically, purple nut sedge might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Details
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
|
Evidence from animal research suggests that purple nut sedge can reduce blood glucose levels (27554). Theoretically, purple nut sedge might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Details
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

In vitro, purple nut sedge dose-dependently inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (27563). Theoretically, concurrent use of purple nut sedge with cholinergic drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Details
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).

General ...There is currently a limited amount of information available about the adverse effects of purple nut sedge. Orally, purple nut sedge tuber seems to be generally well tolerated. In clinical research, purple nut sedge tuber 450 mg taken orally daily as a part of a combination product for 8 weeks did not cause adverse effects (89900). Topically, purple nut sedge essential oil seems to be well-tolerated, except for a complaint of bad odor (99457).
