Black Hoof Mushroom and Probenecid

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 Probenecid 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 Probenecid

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Probenecid is filed under 6 classifications — including antigout drugs, organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates, organic anion transporter 1 (oat1) substrates. 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 Probenecid’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 Probenecid’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 Probenecid’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. 6 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Flushing
  • Hair loss
  • Joint pain
  • Reduced appetite

Showing the 10 most notable of 17 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 Probenecid. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,262 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Probenecid 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Probenecid page

“Probenecid does its work through the kidneys, pulling uric acid out of the blood to control gout, and that is exactly why the 30 supplement and herbal interactions on file deserve genuine care rather than a quick skim.

About Black Hoof Mushroom

What is Black Hoof Mushroom?

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.

About Probenecid

What Is Probenecid Used For?

Brand names: Benemid, Benuryl, Probecid

Probenecid tablets are used to treat hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels in the blood) associated with gout and gouty arthritis. By helping the kidneys remove more uric acid, it lowers uric acid levels over time and helps prevent painful gout attacks.

Probenecid tablets are also used alongside certain penicillin-type antibiotics — including penicillin, ampicillin, methicillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, and nafcillin — to raise and sustain the antibiotic's level in the bloodstream, making the antibiotic work more effectively.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Probenecid

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (0 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Diarrhea 105 reports
Dyspnea 53 reports
Nausea 50 reports
Vomiting 49 reports
Acute kidney injury 48 reports
