Andrachne and Oxytetracycline , Polymyxin B

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 Oxytetracycline , Polymyxin B and Andrachne 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 Andrachne at all — not against Oxytetracycline , Polymyxin B, 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 Oxytetracycline , Polymyxin B page

“St. John's wort is the entry I'd check first for anyone using Terak (oxytetracycline with polymyxin B), since both the herb and this antibiotic's tetracycline component can make skin react more strongly to sunlight.”

Where does our data come from?

  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Andrachne reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Andrachne and Oxytetracycline , Polymyxin B records this page draws on were last updated June 20, 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 Andrachne

What is Andrachne?

Andrachne
  • Fever
  • Diarrhea
  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Antimicrobial support
  • Antioxidant support

Andrachne is a group of flowering plants used in some traditional medicine systems for fever, diarrhea, and urinary problems, but there is very little human research to support these uses. Because its safety has not been well studied, it is best to be cautious and talk with a pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Phyllanthaceae · Leaves, stems, and roots · Traditional teas, decoctions, and crude plant extracts

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