The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Black Haw and Voriconazole 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 Voriconazole

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 Voriconazole 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 Voriconazole, 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.

About Black Haw

What is Black Haw?

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.

Viburnum prunifolium · Adoxaceae · Bark of the stem and root · Tea (decoction), tincture, liquid extract, capsules, dried bark

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

Black Haw: dosing

There is no established standardized dose for Black Haw. Traditional preparations include teas (decoctions of the bark), tinctures, and liquid extracts, but reliable dosing has not been confirmed by modern research.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Voriconazole

What Is Voriconazole Used For?

Brand name: Vfend

Voriconazole treats several serious fungal infections. Across all available forms — tablets, oral suspension, and intravenous (IV) injection — it is used for invasive aspergillosis (a dangerous mold infection), candidemia (Candida fungus in the bloodstream) in patients who are not neutropenic (not severely low on white blood cells), other deep-tissue Candida infections, and serious infections caused by Scedosporium apiospermum or Fusarium species in patients who cannot tolerate or have not responded to other antifungal treatments.

Esophageal candidiasis (a Candida infection of the esophagus, the swallowing tube) is also an approved use for most formulations. Note on the oral tablet form (generic voriconazole tablets): that specific tablet formulation is approved for patients aged 12 to 14 years weighing at least 50 kg, and all patients 15 years and older — not for younger or smaller children. The oral suspension and the IV injection are approved for patients 2 years and older for most of these conditions.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Voriconazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (30,194 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fever 1,441 reports
Pneumonia 1,347 reports
