The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Bioresonance and Acitretin 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.

Bioresonance and Acitretin

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 Acitretin and Bioresonance 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Bioresonance at all — not against Acitretin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

Bioresonance safety at a glance

Bioresonance overall Use caution The therapy itself is usually harmless, but relying on it instead of real medical care can be dangerous.
Pregnancy Use caution There is no safety data; avoid relying on it and consult your doctor for pregnancy care.
Breastfeeding Use caution No reliable safety information exists, so use proven medical care instead.

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

What Acitretin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Bioresonance. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Acitretin’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.

  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Dry skin mentioned in 7.7% of FDA reports for Acitretin
  • Hair loss

Showing the 10 most notable of 16 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 Acitretin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 4,849 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Acitretin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Bioresonance’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Bioresonance side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Bioresonance has no side effects.

Overlapping uses

What Acitretin Is Prescribed For, and What Bioresonance Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Acitretin is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Bioresonance is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Acitretin is prescribed for: Acitretin capsules are approved to treat severe psoriasis in adults. It is typically reserved for patients whose psoriasis has not responded to other treatments, or when other treatments are not appropriate options. Because of serious risks — including the risk of severe birth defects — acitretin is not a first-line choice. In women who could become pregnant, it should only be used when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks and strict pregnancy-prevention measures are in place.

Bioresonance has been studied for:

  • Psoriasis studied, not established Bioresonance has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Bioresonance for psoriasis

    A small clinical study in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis shows that receiving white holographic bioresonance light for 10-12 minutes once weekly and applying a bioresonance water lotion twice daily for two weeks seems to improve symptoms and reduce markers of inflammation when compared with baseline. The validity of these findings is limited by the lack of a control group.

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 Acitretin on your own; if you are taking Bioresonance for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Acitretin

This page covers Bioresonance only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Acitretin page lists 53 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Vitamin A (major), Adrafinil (moderate), Alfalfa (moderate) and Angelica Archangelica (moderate).

By severity: 2 major · 40 moderate · 11 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Acitretin page

“A course of Acitretin (Soriatane) for severe psoriasis runs for months, long enough for a multivitamin or detox product to slip in unexamined, and with this drug that carelessness carries real risk. Two of the 53 interacting ingredients are rated major.”

About Bioresonance

What is Bioresonance?

  • Allergy testing
  • Smoking cessation
  • Detecting food intolerances
  • General wellness and 'detox'
  • Pain or fatigue

Bioresonance is not a supplement or herb — it is an electronic device-based alternative therapy that claims to read and balance the body's 'energy frequencies.' There is no credible scientific evidence that it can diagnose or treat any medical condition, and it should never replace proven medical care. If you are considering it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Diagnostic and therapy devices used in clinics or at home

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

Bioresonance: dosing

Bioresonance is not something you swallow, so there is no dose in milligrams or drops. Sessions are given by a practitioner using a device, and there is no standardized, evidence-based 'treatment schedule.'If you choose to try it, follow the practitioner's instructions, but understand that the practice is unproven. Do not stop or change any prescribed medicine or proven treatment based on bioresonance results.

Taking Bioresonance and Acitretin Together: Common Questions

They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together.

Does Acitretin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Acitretin has documented interactions with 53 supplements in our database — Bioresonance is not one of them. The Acitretin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
