7,8-benzoflavone and Aliskiren

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 Aliskiren and 7,8-benzoflavone 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for 7,8-benzoflavone at all — not against Aliskiren, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

“Aliskiren (Tekturna) has one job, keeping blood pressure down, and most of this list pulls on that same rope. Of the 227 supplements with an interaction on file, 119 have blood-pressure effects of their own, stacking with the drug until pressure drops too far (fish oil is a common one) or pushing back against it.”

About 7,8-benzoflavone

What is 7,8-benzoflavone?

  • Lowering estrogen levels
  • Raising testosterone
  • Reducing gynecomastia from anabolic steroids
  • Bodybuilding and athletic performance

7,8-Benzoflavone (alpha-naphthoflavone) is a synthetic flavone studied mainly in laboratories for its effects on enzymes like aromatase and certain liver enzymes. It is not an approved or well-studied dietary supplement in humans, its safety is poorly defined, and aromatase inhibitors are banned in sports — so it should not be used without medical supervision.

Synthetic flavone compound (also studied as a plant flavonoid derivative) · Research chemical; sometimes found in bodybuilding or 'aromatase inhibitor' supplements

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 7,8-benzoflavone is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 7,8-benzoflavone record says about it on its own.
