American Ivy and Terconazole

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 Terconazole and American Ivy 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.

American Ivy safety at a glance

American Ivy overall Use caution Little safety data exists, and the berries are toxic, so use it cautiously and avoid eating any part of the plant.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety information, so it is best to avoid use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoiding it is the safer choice.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Terconazole

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Terconazole is filed under 2 classifications — antifungals, oral drugs. American Ivy has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being thiazide diuretics (moderate) — and none of Terconazole’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 Terconazole’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves American Ivy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Terconazole’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.

  • Sun sensitivity
  • Fever
  • Itching
  • Stomach pain
  • Headache mentioned in 5.5% of FDA reports for Terconazole

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Terconazole. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 805 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Terconazole that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. American Ivy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no American Ivy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that American Ivy has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Terconazole

This page covers American Ivy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Terconazole page lists 20 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 12 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Terconazole page

“Terconazole (Terazole) is a vaginal antifungal for yeast infections, and its supplement list earns genuine caution because of one standout: activated charcoal, the only major-rated interaction among the 20 on file. Charcoal binds many medicines and can lower their levels even when a drug is not taken by mouth, which makes it the entry…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. American Ivy is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every American Ivy reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The American Ivy and Terconazole 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 American Ivy

What is American Ivy?

American Ivy
  • Digestive upset
  • To stimulate sweating
  • Traditional tonic use
  • Skin and swelling complaints (topical folk use)

American Ivy (Virginia creeper) is mainly an ornamental climbing vine with a long history of folk use for digestion and sweating, but there is very little human evidence to support any health benefit. Its berries contain oxalic acid and are considered poisonous, and the plant can irritate the skin. Because safety data is limited, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Parthenocissus quinquefolia · Vitaceae · Bark, leaves, and stems (berries are considered poisonous) · Dried bark, tinctures, teas; rarely sold as a standardized supplement

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

American Ivy: dosing

There is no established safe or effective dose for American Ivy. It is not a standardized supplement, so the strength of any product can vary a lot.If you choose to use a product that contains it, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. Never make a home preparation from the raw plant or its berries.

About Terconazole

What Is Terconazole Used For?

Brand name: Terazole

Terconazole vaginal cream and vaginal suppositories are both indicated for the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis — commonly known as a vaginal yeast infection caused by Candida species. Because these products only work against Candida, a healthcare provider should confirm the diagnosis before or during treatment.

Before starting a second course of treatment with terconazole vaginal suppositories, the diagnosis should be re-confirmed by lab tests and other possible causes of symptoms should be ruled out.
