Banderol and Celecoxib, Tramadol

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Banderol interacts with whole categories of medication. Celecoxib, Tramadol falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Banderol in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTER 1 (OAT1) SUBSTRATES

1 of 2

Why this applies to Celecoxib, Tramadol

Celecoxib, Tramadol falls under ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTER 1 (OAT1) SUBSTRATES — the group Banderol interacts with.

Small lab studies have found that Banderol may inhibit OATP1B1 (Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1), which is a membrane protein responsible for the uptake of various drugs, hormones, and other biologically active substances into the cells of the liver and other tissues. It is often referred to as a drug transporter. It is a member of the OATP family of transporters and is known to play a critical role in the pharmacokinetics of many drugs. When OATPs are inhibited, it can cause problems with the elimination of drugs and result in a sudden rise in the concentration of the drug in the bloodstream and the extent to which it is absorbed (AUC) for drugs that rely on these transporters. This can increase the likelihood of adverse side effects associated with the therapy.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence A

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Seglentis is a combo of celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory) and tramadol (a pain reliever). The concern here is mostly about transporters in the liver. Lab studies suggest Banderol may block a drug transporter called OATP1B1, which helps move certain medicines into liver cells so they can be processed. If that handoff slows down, the medicine can build up a bit in your blood.

For this pairing, that could mean stronger or longer-lasting effects, like more stomach upset or fluid retention from the celecoxib side, or more drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, or constipation from the tramadol side. Keep in mind this is based on early test-tube research, not real people, so the actual risk is uncertain. Still, since tramadol can affect breathing and alertness, it is worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTER 3 (OAT3) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

Celecoxib, Tramadol also falls under ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTER 3 (OAT3) SUBSTRATES.

Small lab studies have found that Banderol may also inhibit OATP1B3 (Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B3), in addition to OATP1B1. If a drug is a substrate for both transporters, the risk of interaction with Banderol increases but the overall clinical significance is not well understood.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence A

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the short version on combining Banderol with this celecoxib/tramadol combo (Seglentis). Banderol has been shown, mostly in test-tube studies, to block certain liver transporters (called OATP1B1 and OATP1B3) that help move some drugs out of the bloodstream. In theory, slowing those transporters could let a drug linger a bit longer and build up.

The honest truth is we don't have solid human data here, so the real-world impact is uncertain. If levels did rise, you might notice more of the usual side effects: stomach upset, drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, or nausea from the tramadol side, plus the typical NSAID cautions with celecoxib. I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but please run it by your pharmacist or doctor before pairing the two.

About Banderol

What is Banderol?

Banderol
  • Lyme disease support
  • Antimicrobial
  • Antifungal
  • Immune support
  • Inflammation

Banderol is a Nutramedix-branded herbal extract made from the bark of the Amazonian tree Otoba parvifolia, most often promoted as part of alternative Lyme disease protocols. There is very little high-quality human research to support its use, so the evidence behind its benefits is weak and largely preliminary. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and never use it to replace proven treatments.
