The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Black Nightshade and Aztreonam 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 Nightshade and Aztreonam

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 Aztreonam and Black Nightshade 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 Nightshade at all — not against Aztreonam, 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.

What Aztreonam’s Own FDA Label Lists

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

  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on mentioned in 6.2% of FDA reports for Aztreonam
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 37 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 Aztreonam. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 7,148 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Aztreonam that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Black Nightshade’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Black Nightshade side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Black Nightshade has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aztreonam page

“Every entry on this page tells one story, and it is a gentler one than most interaction lists. Aztreonam (Azactam) is an injectable or inhaled antibiotic used for serious infections, often in people with cystic fibrosis, and none of these 27 supplement pairings makes the drug itself riskier or weaker.”

About Black Nightshade

What is Black Nightshade?

Black Nightshade
  • Digestive complaints
  • Skin conditions
  • Inflammation
  • Fever
  • Liver support (traditional)

Black nightshade is a wild plant whose cooked ripe berries and leaves are eaten as food in some cultures, but unripe berries and green parts can be poisonous. Human evidence for any health benefit is very limited, and the risk of toxicity is real. Do not use it as a supplement without medical guidance, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Solanum nigrum · Solanaceae · Leaves, berries (ripe), and whole plant · Cooked leafy greens, fruit, traditional decoctions, dried herb, extracts

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

Black Nightshade: dosing

There is no established or standardized safe dose of black nightshade as a supplement. When it comes to wild plants, never guess at an amount or forage your own to use as medicine.

About Aztreonam Injection

What Is Aztreonam Injection Used For?

Brand name: Azactam

Azactam (aztreonam for injection) is used to treat infections caused by susceptible gram-negative bacteria. It is approved for urinary tract infections (including kidney infections and bladder infections), lower respiratory tract infections (including pneumonia), bloodstream infections (septicemia), skin and skin-structure infections (including those related to wounds, ulcers, and burns), intra-abdominal infections (including peritonitis), and gynecologic infections (including endometritis and pelvic cellulitis).

Azactam is also used alongside surgery to manage infections such as abscesses and infections involving perforated organs. In seriously ill patients who may also have gram-positive bacterial infections, it is often started together with another antibiotic that covers those bacteria. When anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that don't need oxygen) are also suspected, an anti-anaerobic antibiotic is added as well.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Aztreonam

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (7,148 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Infective pulmonary exacerbation of cystic fibrosis 849 reports
Dyspnea 440 reports
Hospitalisation 390 reports
Cough 359 reports
