7,8-benzoflavone + Alosetron
Alosetron brand name: Lotronex.
We found no known interaction between 7,8-benzoflavone and Alosetron 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.
7,8-benzoflavone and Alosetron
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 Alosetron 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 Alosetron, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Alosetron page
“Alosetron (Lotronex) treats severe diarrhea-predominant IBS by acting on serotonin receptors in the gut, and that is where most of its 38 supplement interactions come from. Twenty of the ingredients, 5-HTP among them, raise serotonin on their own, and stacking them on a serotonin-acting drug is a combination I want you to treat with re…”

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.

About Alosetron
What Is Alosetron Used For?
Brand name: Lotronex
Alosetron tablets — available as Alosetron, Alosetron Hydrochloride, and Lotronex — are approved only for women with severe diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose symptoms have lasted 6 months or longer and who have not gotten adequate relief from conventional therapy. Other causes of GI symptoms must be ruled out first.
To qualify as severe, diarrhea-predominant IBS must include diarrhea plus at least one of the following: frequent and severe abdominal pain or discomfort, frequent bowel urgency or fecal incontinence (accidental stool leakage), or significant disruption to daily activities. Clinical studies have not confirmed the same benefit in men.
