Interaction report

Black Hoof Mushroom and Codeine Phosphate

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 Codeine Phosphate and Black Hoof Mushroom 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Codeine Phosphate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Codeine Phosphate is filed under 6 classifications — including narcotic drugs, cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates, cns depressants. Black Hoof Mushroom has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (moderate), cytochrome p450 2e1 (cyp2e1) substrates (moderate) and immunosuppressants (moderate) — and none of Codeine Phosphate’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.

What Codeine Phosphate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Black Hoof Mushroom. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Codeine Phosphate’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.

Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
Serotonin syndrome Worth acting on
Low blood sugar Worth acting on
Pancreatitis Worth acting on
Fainting Worth acting on
Seizures Worth acting on
Low mood Worth acting on
Shortness of breath Worth acting on
A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
Hives Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 32 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 Codeine Phosphate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 6,086 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Codeine Phosphate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Black Hoof Mushroom’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Black Hoof Mushroom side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Black Hoof Mushroom has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Codeine Phosphate

This page covers Black Hoof Mushroom only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Codeine Phosphate page lists 144 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Kava (major).

By severity: 7 major · 114 moderate · 23 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Codeine Phosphate page

“Codeine phosphate is an opioid painkiller and cough suppressant that slows breathing along with brain activity, and the wrong supplement can push that effect into dangerous territory. Seven of the 144 documented ingredients rate major, and nearly all of that serious risk comes from things that deepen sedation.”

What is Black Hoof Mushroom?

Immune system support
Antioxidant support
General wellness
Traditional cancer-supportive use
Inflammation

Black Hoof Mushroom (Phellinus linteus) is a medicinal mushroom long used in East Asian traditional medicine, mainly for immune support. Most of the supporting evidence comes from laboratory and animal studies, and high-quality human research is limited. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have a health condition or take other medicines.

Phellinus linteus · Hymenochaetaceae · Fruiting body (the woody mushroom that grows on tree trunks) · Capsules, tablets, powdered extracts, teas, and tinctures

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

Black Hoof Mushroom: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for Black Hoof Mushroom. The amount can vary widely depending on the product, the type of extract, and how it is made.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not take more than recommended. Because formulations differ so much, it is a good idea to review the specific product with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Medication

About Codeine

What Is Codeine Used For?

Brand name: Codeine

Codeine Sulfate tablets are used for the management of mild to moderate pain in adults and adolescents when other treatments have not worked well enough or are not tolerated. It is an opioid medication, so it is only appropriate when non-opioid options are inadequate.

Because of its serious risks — including addiction, misuse, and overdose — codeine is reserved for patients who truly need an opioid. Prescribers are expected to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time possible.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Codeine Phosphate

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (6,086 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Dependence 3,533 reports

Overdose 730 reports

Back pain 471 reports

Back injury 240 reports

Arthralgia 173 reports
