Interaction report

Beet and Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum-Aaes

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 Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum-Aaes and Beet 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.

Beet safety at a glance

Beet overall Generally safe Beet is widely eaten as a food and is generally well tolerated for most adults.
Pregnancy Use caution Beet as a food is fine, but concentrated supplements lack safety data, so use caution.
Breastfeeding Use caution Beet as a food is fine, but there is not enough data on concentrated supplements.

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

What to actually watch for

What Beet Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum-Aaes. It is the side-effect record for Beet on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Beet, this list is the first place to look. 2 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Bleeding in the gut / Anemia Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, beet juice may cause red stools. This red coloring of the stools is not harmful. Additionally, beet supplementation has been reported to cause black stools. In one case, a 79-year-old male on apixaban and clopidogrel presented with black stools, nausea, and vomiting after taking beet pills 2-3 days prior.”

About Beet

What is Beet?

Beet
  • High blood pressure
  • Exercise and athletic performance
  • Heart and circulation support
  • General antioxidant/anti-inflammatory support
  • Liver and digestive support

Beet, especially beetroot juice, is a nitrate-rich food that may modestly lower blood pressure and slightly improve exercise performance in some people. It is generally safe as a food, but supplement effects are modest and not a substitute for prescribed treatment, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before relying on it.

Beta vulgaris · Amaranthaceae · Root and leaves (greens) · Juice, powder, capsules, tablets, whole food, concentrated shots, gels

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

Beet: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of beet for supplement use. Studies have used a range of amounts of beetroot juice or powder, often based on nitrate content, but the best dose is not firmly established.If you choose a beet supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

From our Beet monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

About Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum Injection

What Is Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum Injection Used For?

Brand name: Qwo

  • Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum injection (Xiaflex) is used to treat Dupuytren's contracture (a painless thickening and tightening of tissue [cord] beneath the skin in the palm of the hand, which may make it difficult to straighten one or more fingers) when a cord of tissue can be felt upon examination. Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum injection (Xiaflex) is also used to treat Peyronie's disease (a thickening of tissue [plaque] inside the penis that causes the penis to curve). Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum injection (QWO) is also used to treat cellulite (fat deposit beneath the skin) in the buttocks of adult women. Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum injection is in a class of medications called enzymes. In people with Dupuytren's contracture, it works by helping to break down the cord of thickened tissue and allows the finger(s) to be straightened. In people with Peyronie's disease, it works by helping to break down the plaque of thickened tissue and allows the penis to be straightened. In women with cellulite, it works by releasing fibrous bands, redistributing fat cells, and stimulating the growth of new collagen.
