The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Asparagus Racemosus and Odevixibat 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 Odevixibat states a food rule worth keeping to.

Interaction report

Asparagus Racemosus and Odevixibat

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 Odevixibat and Asparagus Racemosus 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.

Asparagus Racemosus safety at a glance

Asparagus Racemosu... overall Use caution Generally considered well tolerated in traditional use, but high-quality safety data are limited.
Pregnancy Avoid Safety during pregnancy is not well established, so it is best avoided unless a doctor advises otherwise.
Breastfeeding Use caution It is traditionally used to support milk supply, but reliable safety data are lacking, so use only under professional guidance.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Odevixibat

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Odevixibat is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. Asparagus Racemosus has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being diuretic drugs (moderate) and lithium (moderate) — and none of Odevixibat’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 Odevixibat’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Asparagus Racemosus. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Odevixibat’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. 6 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on mentioned in 5.4% of FDA reports for Odevixibat
  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on mentioned in 5.7% of FDA reports for Odevixibat
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • Heartburn
  • Diarrhea mentioned in 24.0% of FDA reports for Odevixibat
  • Weight loss
  • Stomach pain mentioned in 12.0% of FDA reports for Odevixibat

Showing the 10 most notable of 15 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 Odevixibat. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 350 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Odevixibat that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Asparagus Racemosus’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Asparagus Racemosus side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Asparagus Racemosus has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Odevixibat Products Have a Food Rule — Asparagus Racemosus Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Odevixibat says to take it with food. If you take Asparagus Racemosus on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Odevixibat with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Odevixibat 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.

( 2.2 ) Preparation and Administration Instructions Administer BYLVAY in the morning with a meal.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Odevixibat — 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.

About Asparagus Racemosus

What is Asparagus Racemosus?

Asparagus Racemosus
  • Women's reproductive health
  • Promoting breast milk supply
  • Digestive complaints
  • General tonic and stress support
  • Menopausal symptoms

Asparagus racemosus, often called shatavari, is an Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to support women's health, digestion, and overall vitality. Human evidence for most of these uses is limited and preliminary, so benefits are not well proven. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have hormone-sensitive conditions.

Asparagus racemosus · Asparagaceae · Roots (tuberous roots) · Capsules, tablets, powder (churna), liquid extracts, syrups

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

Asparagus Racemosus: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose for Asparagus racemosus. Products vary widely in strength and form, from powders to capsules to liquid extracts.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Asparagus Racemosus and Odevixibat Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Asparagus Racemosus with Odevixibat?

At least one FDA label for a product containing Odevixibat says to take it with food. If you take Asparagus Racemosus on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Odevixibat with a meal where the label says to.

Odevixibat is filed under 1 classification, and Asparagus Racemosus has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Odevixibat'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.
