Avocado + Phendimetrazine
Phendimetrazine brand names: Plegine, Metra, Weightrol.
We found no known interaction between Avocado and Phendimetrazine 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 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.
Avocado and Phendimetrazine
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 Phendimetrazine and Avocado 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.
Avocado safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Phendimetrazine
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Phendimetrazine is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. Avocado has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being warfarin (coumadin) (moderate) — and none of Phendimetrazine’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.
Avocado Does Interact With Other Medications
Avocado has 2 moderate known drug interactions in our database — Phendimetrazine isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

What Phendimetrazine Is Prescribed For, and What Avocado Has Been Studied For
These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Phendimetrazine is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Avocado is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.
Phendimetrazine is prescribed for: Phendimetrazine tartrate is used to help manage exogenous obesity (excess body weight from outside causes like diet and lifestyle) as a short-term addition to a calorie-restricted diet. It is intended for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher when other risk factors — such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol — are also present. It is approved for use as monotherapy only, meaning it must not be combined with other weight-loss drugs or stimulants. Both the tablet form and the extended-release capsule form are approved for this purpose.

Obesity studied, not established Avocado has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows
Avocado for obesity
It is unclear if consuming avocados is beneficial for weight loss or prevention of weight gain.
Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Phendimetrazine on your own; if you are taking Avocado for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.
See Every Supplement That Interacts With Phendimetrazine
This page covers Avocado only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Phendimetrazine page lists 17 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 · 9 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Phendimetrazine page
“Of the 17 supplements on file for phendimetrazine, an appetite-suppressant stimulant prescribed short term for weight loss, activated charcoal is the one that demands real caution. Charcoal binds medications in the gut and can sharply cut how much of a drug your body absorbs, leaving you with less appetite control than your prescriptio…”

About Avocado
What is Avocado?
- Heart and cholesterol health
- Osteoarthritis (as ASU)
- General nutrition and healthy fats
- Skin and hair care
- Blood sugar support
Avocado is a nutritious fruit rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium, and eating it as part of a balanced diet may support heart health. A specific extract called avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) has been studied for osteoarthritis, but evidence is mixed. As a food it is very safe for most people; talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements.
Persea americana · Lauraceae · Fruit pulp, oil, seed, and leaves · Whole fruit, avocado oil, capsules (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables or ASU), powders
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Avocado is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Avocado record says about it on its own.
Avocado: dosing
There is no official standardized dose of avocado, since it is mainly eaten as a food. A common serving is part of a whole fruit, eaten as part of a balanced diet.For supplements such as ASU, the right amount depends on the specific product, so it is best to follow the directions on the label.
