Drug & supplement interaction

Artichoke + Ixazomib Citrate

Ixazomib Citrate brand name: Ninlaro.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Ixazomib Citrate states a food rule worth keeping to, and the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate

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 Ixazomib Citrate and Artichoke 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.

Artichoke safety at a glance

Artichoke overall Use caution Generally well tolerated as a food and short-term supplement, but quality and dosing vary by product.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information exists, so it is best avoided in supplement form during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety during breastfeeding has not been established, so it is best avoided.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ixazomib Citrate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ixazomib Citrate is filed under 3 classifications — hepatotoxic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Artichoke has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate), antihypertensive drugs (moderate) and cytochrome p450 2b6 (cyp2b6) substrates (moderate) — and none of Ixazomib Citrate’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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Diarrhea / Nausea Additional detail

    Artichoke

    “Orally, artichoke extract might increase abdominal discomfort, flatulence, diarrhea, hunger, and nausea in some patients. Abdominal pain and a bitter taste in the mouth were reported by a single person following oral use of a dietary supplement containing artichoke extract, as well as red yeast rice, pine bark extract, and garlic extract.”

  • A skin rash Additional detail

    Artichoke

    “Artichoke can cause an allergic reaction in some patients. Patients sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family may be at the greatest risk. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many other herbs. Topically, allergic contact dermatitis can occur with the use of artichoke. This has been attributed to the constituent cynaropicrin (11,52206,52226,52230).”

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ixazomib Citrate. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Artichoke but not commonly for Ixazomib Citrate: a bowel blockage, stomach upset, an allergic reaction and a severe allergic reaction.

Effects for Ixazomib Citrate come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Artichoke come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

How to take them

Some Ixazomib Citrate Products Have a Food Rule — Artichoke Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Ixazomib Citrate says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Artichoke included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Ixazomib Citrate on its own and move Artichoke to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Ixazomib Citrate products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.1 ) Dose should be taken at least one hour before or at least two hours after food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ixazomib Citrate — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ixazomib Citrate page

“Anyone taking ixazomib citrate (Ninlaro) for multiple myeloma should give this list real weight, because a supplement that shifts this chemotherapy's blood level can shift how well it works against the cancer. Of the 168 ingredients on file, 121 act on CYP3A4, the enzyme that clears ixazomib.”

About Artichoke

What is Artichoke?

Artichoke
  • High cholesterol
  • Indigestion and heartburn
  • Constipation and bloating
  • Liver and gallbladder support
  • General digestive health

Artichoke leaf extract is a generally well-tolerated supplement that may have a mild cholesterol-lowering effect and is often used for indigestion, though the evidence is modest. It is not a replacement for proven treatments, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have a medical condition.

Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus · Asteraceae · Leaves (most common in supplements); also flower buds and roots · Capsules, tablets, liquid extracts, tea, and as a food (the edible flower bud)

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

Artichoke: dosing

There is no single official dose for artichoke supplements. The right amount depends on the specific product and the type of extract used, since the strength can vary widely between brands.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and choose a reputable, standardized product.

Taking Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Artichoke with Ixazomib Citrate?
We do not list a known interaction between Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Should I take Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Ixazomib Citrate says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Ixazomib Citrate on its own and move Artichoke to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Artichoke and Ixazomib Citrate combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Ixazomib Citrate is filed under 3 classifications, and Artichoke has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Ixazomib Citrate's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Artichoke interact with any other medications?
Yes. Artichoke has 363 documented drug interactions in our database — Ixazomib Citrate is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Ixazomib Citrate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Ixazomib Citrate has documented interactions with 168 supplements in our database — Artichoke is not one of them. The Ixazomib Citrate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
