Medically reviewed by · Updated June 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between 7-methoxyflavone and Misoprostol in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Misoprostol states a food rule worth keeping to.

7-methoxyflavone and Misoprostol

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Misoprostol and 7-methoxyflavone in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

7-methoxyflavone safety at a glance

7-methoxyflavone overall Not established Human safety data are very limited, so it cannot be called clearly safe.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid because of unknown safety and possible effects on hormones.
Breastfeeding Avoid Avoid due to lack of safety data and potential hormonal activity.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Misoprostol

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Misoprostol is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. 7-methoxyflavone has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being aromatase inhibitors (moderate) and testosterone (moderate) — and none of Misoprostol’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Misoprostol’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves 7-methoxyflavone. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Misoprostol’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Misoprostol. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 16,478 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Misoprostol that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. 7-methoxyflavone’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no 7-methoxyflavone side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that 7-methoxyflavone has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Misoprostol Products Have a Food Rule — 7-methoxyflavone Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Misoprostol says to take it with food. If you take 7-methoxyflavone on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Misoprostol with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Misoprostol products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended adult oral dose of Cytotec for reducing the risk of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers is 200 mcg four times daily with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Misoprostol — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Misoprostol page

“Misoprostol (Cytotec) is taken by mouth to protect the stomach lining from ulcers caused by NSAID pain relievers, and all 17 of its recorded supplement interactions come down to the same problem, something in the gut keeping the pill from being absorbed properly. That deserves genuine wariness, because misoprostol that never reaches th…”

About 7-methoxyflavone

What is 7-methoxyflavone?

  • Boosting testosterone
  • Reducing estrogen (aromatase inhibition)
  • Athletic and bodybuilding performance
  • Muscle building support

7-Methoxyflavone is a lab-made or plant-derived flavonoid marketed mainly in testosterone-boosting and bodybuilding supplements based on the idea that it blocks the aromatase enzyme. However, solid human evidence that it raises testosterone, improves performance, or builds muscle is essentially lacking, and its long-term safety has not been well studied. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Isolated flavonoid compound (synthesized or extracted from plants) · Capsules, tablets, powders (often in combination supplements)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 7-methoxyflavone is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 7-methoxyflavone record says about it on its own.

7-methoxyflavone: dosing

There is no established, science-based dose for 7-methoxyflavone. It has not been studied enough in people to know a safe and effective amount.Most products that contain it provide it as part of a blend, and amounts vary widely from brand to brand. They can help you weigh whether the product makes sense for you and check for any concerns based on your health and other medicines.

About Misoprostol

What Is Misoprostol Used For?

Brand name: Cytotec

Cytotec (misoprostol) tablets and misoprostol tablets are approved to reduce the risk of gastric ulcers (stomach ulcers) in patients who take NSAIDs — nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or diclofenac — and who are at high risk of ulcer complications. High-risk patients include older adults, people with serious ongoing illnesses, and those with a history of stomach ulcers.

It is important to note that misoprostol has not been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcers (ulcers in the first part of the small intestine) in people taking NSAIDs. It also does not relieve the stomach pain or discomfort that NSAIDs can cause.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Misoprostol

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (16,478 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Hemorrhage 1,322 reports
Abortion incomplete 1,159 reports
Nausea 1,031 reports
Arthralgia 977 reports

Taking 7-methoxyflavone and Misoprostol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take 7-methoxyflavone with Misoprostol?
We do not list a known interaction between 7-methoxyflavone and Misoprostol. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Should I take 7-methoxyflavone and Misoprostol at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Misoprostol says to take it with food. If you take 7-methoxyflavone on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Misoprostol with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Misoprostol products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the 7-methoxyflavone and Misoprostol combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Misoprostol is filed under 1 classification, and 7-methoxyflavone has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Misoprostol's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does 7-methoxyflavone interact with any other medications?
Yes. 7-methoxyflavone has 12 documented drug interactions in our database — Misoprostol is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Misoprostol interact with any supplements?
Yes. Misoprostol has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — 7-methoxyflavone is not one of them. The Misoprostol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
