7,8-benzoflavone + Ampicillin
Ampicillin brand names: Principen, Omnipen-N, Omnipen, Rimacillin, Penbritin.
We found no known interaction between 7,8-benzoflavone and Ampicillin 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 Ampicillin
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 Ampicillin 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 Ampicillin, 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 Ampicillin page
“An antibiotic only works if enough of it survives the trip through your gut, and that is where ampicillin (Principen, Penbritin) meets real trouble with one supplement in particular. Activated charcoal, the single major-rated entry among the 50 on this page, binds drugs in the digestive tract and can sharply cut how much ampicillin you…”

Where 7,8-benzoflavone and Ampicillin Sit Against Everything Else
Out of every supplement and medication people look up on HelloPharmacist, here is where these two land this week — and which way each has been moving.
#1,405 of 1,452 supplements looked up here in the last 7 days
#706 of 2,830 medications looked up here in the last 7 days
Position among everything looked up on this site, not a measure of how commonly either one is used or how important it is. A supplement can climb this list because of a news story. It counts every request to the page, automated ones included, and nothing here identifies anyone.
Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions.
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every 7,8-benzoflavone reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The 7,8-benzoflavone and Ampicillin records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
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 Ampicillin
What Is Ampicillin Used For?
Brand names: Principen, Omnipen-N, Omnipen, Rimacillin, Penbritin
Ampicillin treats bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is used for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections (including typhoid fever and dysentery), bacterial meningitis (infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord), and serious bloodstream infections such as septicemia and endocarditis (infection of the heart's inner lining).
Ampicillin capsules (oral form) are also indicated for genitourinary tract infections, including gonorrhea caused by non-penicillinase-producing organisms, and meningitis caused by N. meningitidis. The injectable forms (intramuscular or intravenous) are reserved for moderately severe to severe infections or for patients who cannot take oral medication.
