Potential Negative Interaction

  • Iron
    Absorption of ferrous citrate, an iron compound that is usually well absorbed, is reduced in individuals taking hyoscyamine; therefore, these two substances should not be taken at the same time.

  • The herb Anisodus tanguticus contains a chemical that has effects similar to atropine, a compound related to hyoscyamine. Though no human studies have investigated a possible adverse interaction between hyoscyamine and anisodus, individuals should avoid the combination until more is known.

    The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
