Black Haw + Naloxone
Naloxone brand names: Narcan, Zimhi, Rivive.
We found no known interaction between Black Haw and Naloxone 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.
Black Haw and Naloxone
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 Naloxone and Black Haw 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 Black Haw at all — not against Naloxone, 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Naloxone
This page covers Black Haw only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Naloxone page lists 3 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (moderate), Gamma Butyrolactone (gbl) (moderate) and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (moderate).
By severity: 3 moderate.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Naloxone page
“The list of supplements that interact with naloxone, the emergency spray or injection (Narcan, Zimhi, Rivive) that reverses opioid overdoses, is short and unusual. All three entries are forms of the same substance: gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and two chemicals the body converts into it, GBL and 1,4-butanediol.”

About Black Haw
What is Black Haw?
- Menstrual cramps
- Uterine spasms
- Threatened miscarriage (traditional)
- Menopause-related discomfort
- General muscle cramps
Black Haw is a traditional herbal bark long used to ease menstrual cramps and uterine spasms, but modern human studies are very limited. It contains compounds that may relax smooth muscle, but its effectiveness is not well proven, and it should be used with caution, especially during pregnancy. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Naloxone Hydrochloride injection is additionally indicated specifically for military personnel and chemical incident responders: for emergency treatment of patients 12 and older where high-potency opioids such as fentanyl analogues have been used as a chemical weapon, and for temporary protection against breathing and nervous system depression when entering an area contaminated with such opioids.
