The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Adrue and Fenofibrate 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.

Adrue and Fenofibrate

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 Fenofibrate and Adrue 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Fenofibrate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Fenofibrate is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors, hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Adrue has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being barbiturates (moderate), benzodiazepines (moderate) and cns depressants (moderate) — and none of Fenofibrate’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 Fenofibrate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Adrue. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Fenofibrate’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. 7 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Severe muscle breakdown Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Sun sensitivity
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Back pain

Showing the 10 most notable of 18 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Fenofibrate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 35,249 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Fenofibrate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Adrue’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Adrue side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Adrue has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Fenofibrate page

“Fenofibrate (Tricor, Antara) is a cholesterol and triglyceride medicine that can strain the liver on its own, so this list of 59 supplements deserves genuine care rather than a shrug. Most of it, 38 ingredients, involves herbs that also stress the liver, ashwagandha among them, and stacking those effects is the risk that matters most h…”

About Adrue

What is Adrue?

Adrue
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Digestive upset, gas, and diarrhea
  • Calming or sedative effect
  • Traditional use for fevers and infections

Adrue (Cyperus articulatus) is a sedge whose rhizome has long been used in traditional medicine for nausea and other stomach complaints, and as a mild calming agent. Solid human studies are lacking, so its real benefits and safe doses are not well established. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Cyperus articulatus · Cyperaceae · Rhizome (underground stem) and tubers; sometimes the essential oil · Dried rhizome, powder, tea or decoction, traditional preparations, essential oil

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

Adrue: dosing

There is no established standardized dose for Adrue. Traditional use varies widely, and reliable human studies have not defined a safe and effective amount.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. A pharmacist can help you review the product and decide whether it is appropriate for you.Do not use Adrue as a substitute for medical care, especially for ongoing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of infection, which may need proper diagnosis and treatment.

About Fenofibrate

What Is Fenofibrate Used For?

Brand names: Tricor, Fenofibrate, Lipidil Micro, Lipidil Supra, Antara, Lofibra, Triglide, Lipidil EZ

Fenofibrate is used alongside a cholesterol-lowering diet in adults to improve abnormal lipid levels. Tricor (tablet) and fenofibrate tablets are indicated to lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), total cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B, and to raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) or mixed dyslipidemia (mixed abnormal lipid levels). They are also used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia (very high triglycerides).

Antara and Lipofen (capsules) are indicated to reduce triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia, and to lower LDL cholesterol in adults with primary hyperlipidemia when other recommended LDL-lowering therapies cannot be used. Fenofibrate has not been shown to reduce heart attacks or cardiovascular deaths in patients with type 2 diabetes.
