The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Banderol and Promethazine 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 Promethazine

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 Promethazine 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.

Banderol safety at a glance

Banderol overall Use caution Human safety data are very limited, so use carefully and under professional guidance.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid while breastfeeding.

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

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 Promethazine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Promethazine is filed under 4 classifications — including phenothiazines, anticholinergic drugs, photosensitizing 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 Promethazine’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.

Keep it in perspective

What Promethazine’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 Promethazine’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 26 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 Promethazine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 22,361 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Promethazine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. 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.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Henbane (major), Scopolia (major), Alfalfa (moderate) and Angel's Trumpet (moderate).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Promethazine page

“Promethazine (Phenergan) is a phenothiazine antihistamine used for allergies, nausea, and motion sickness, and it is strongly anticholinergic on its own, causing dry mouth, blurred vision, drowsiness, and constipation. That is why the 83 supplements and herbs on this list deserve real attention, starting with the three rated major.”

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 Promethazine 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 Promethazine

What Is Promethazine Used For?

Brand name: Phenergan

Promethazine is used for a wide range of conditions. Tablets, oral solution, and rectal suppositories (brands including Phenergan, Promethegan, and Phenadoz) are approved for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, hives (urticaria), angioedema, dermographism, and allergic reactions to blood or plasma. They are also used for motion sickness (both prevention and active treatment), nausea and vomiting related to anesthesia and surgery, sedation, and as a helper medication alongside pain relievers after surgery.

Promethazine hydrochloride injection (brands including Phenergan and Promethazine HCl injection) is used for many of the same purposes but is reserved for situations where oral treatment is not possible — including allergic emergencies as an adjunct to epinephrine, sedation during labor, and as an aid during certain surgical procedures such as bronchoscopy and eye surgery.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Promethazine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (22,614 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Dependence 3,586 reports
Nausea 2,646 reports
Vomiting 1,802 reports
Fatigue 1,496 reports
Diarrhea 1,341 reports
