The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Banderol and Dantrolene 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.

Banderol and Dantrolene

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 Dantrolene and Banderol 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.

Pharmacist analysis

Due to the lack of scientific data, it is difficult to make definitive statements about potential drug interactions involving Banderol (Otoba parvifolia).

Although some preliminary studies done in a lab setting have noted some potential interactions (which can be found in our interaction checker), more are needed to better understand the safety of Banderol when combined with OTC (over-the-counter) or prescription drugs.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dantrolene

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dantrolene is filed under 4 classifications — including skeletal muscle relaxants, photosensitizing drugs, hepatotoxic drugs. Banderol has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being organic anion transporter 1 (oat1) substrates (moderate) and organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates (moderate) — and none of Dantrolene’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 Dantrolene’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Banderol. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dantrolene’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Pain in an arm or leg
  • Flushing

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dantrolene. Read the label on DailyMed › Banderol’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Banderol side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Banderol has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dantrolene page

“People take dantrolene (Dantrium) for muscle spasticity from multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury, and the drug already carries a boxed warning for liver injury. That is why its supplement interactions deserve genuine respect.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Banderol is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Banderol reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Banderol and Dantrolene 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 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.

Otoba parvifolia · Myristicaceae · Bark (extract) · Liquid tincture/drops, capsules

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

Banderol: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose for Banderol. It has not been studied enough in humans to set a proven safe and effective amount.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label exactly, since the manufacturer's tincture is typically dosed as a small number of drops in water.

About Dantrolene

What Is Dantrolene Used For?

Brand names: Dantrium, Dantrium Intravenous

Dantrolene sodium capsules (Dantrium, Dantrolene Sodium) are used by mouth to control spasticity — painful or disabling muscle stiffness and spasms — caused by upper motor neuron disorders such as spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, or multiple sclerosis. They are not used for muscle spasm from arthritis or other rheumatic conditions. Oral capsules are also used before and after surgery to prevent or reduce the risk of malignant hyperthermia in patients known to be susceptible.

For an active malignant hyperthermia crisis — a sudden, dangerous overheating of the muscles triggered by certain anesthetics — the intravenous (IV) forms are given in the hospital. Dantrium Intravenous, Revonto, Ryanodex, and Dantrolene injection are all indicated to treat a malignant hyperthermia crisis and may also be given before surgery to help prevent one in high-risk patients.
