Drug & supplement interaction

Blood Irradiation Therapy + Paliperidone

Paliperidone brand name: Invega.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Blood Irradiation Therapy and Paliperidone 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Blood Irradiation Therapy and Paliperidone

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 Paliperidone and Blood Irradiation Therapy in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Blood Irradiation Therapy alongside specific medications may be limited.

Blood Irradiation Therapy is a treatment rather than something you take. Tell whoever provides it which medicines you use, and ask your prescriber whether it is appropriate for your health and treatment. 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.

Blood Irradiation Therapy safety at a glance

Blood Irradiation... overall Use caution This is an invasive procedure with infection and other risks, and it is not a proven treatment for most conditions.
Pregnancy Avoid Safety during pregnancy has not been established, so it is best avoided.
Breastfeeding Avoid There is no reliable safety data during breastfeeding, so avoid it.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Paliperidone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Paliperidone is filed under 5 classifications — including antipsychotic drugs, qt interval-prolonging drugs, photosensitizing drugs. Blood Irradiation Therapy has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate), antidiabetes drugs (moderate) and immunosuppressants (moderate) — and none of Paliperidone’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Blood Irradiation Therapy and Paliperidone May Share a Side Effect

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so having Blood Irradiation Therapy while taking the medicine can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Low blood pressure Additional detail

    “There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of blood irradiation therapy. Case reports suggest that it may cause hypotension, urticaria, hypoglycemia, nasal bleeding, rigor, and bronchospasm.”

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Paliperidone. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Blood Irradiation Therapy but not commonly for Paliperidone: wheezing, low blood sugar, hives and joint pain.

Effects for Paliperidone come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Blood Irradiation Therapy come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 52,996 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Paliperidone that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Paliperidone

This page covers Blood Irradiation Therapy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Paliperidone page lists 64 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), Arsenic (major), Cesium (major) and Ephedra (major).

By severity: 9 major · 44 moderate · 11 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Paliperidone page

“Paliperidone (Invega) is an antipsychotic for schizophrenia and related conditions that can stretch the heart's QT interval on its own, so this list warrants real vigilance. Nine of the 64 ingredients on file carry a major rating, and most either prolong that QT interval further (grapefruit in large amounts is one of them) or intensify…”

About Blood Irradiation Therapy

What is Blood Irradiation Therapy?

  • Chronic infections
  • Immune support
  • Fatigue and general wellness
  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Circulatory complaints

Blood Irradiation Therapy is a medical procedure—not a dietary supplement or herb—in which blood is exposed to ultraviolet or laser light, either outside the body and re-infused or by an intravenous light device. It is not approved by the U.S. FDA for treating any disease, and high-quality evidence supporting modern claims is very limited. If you are considering it, talk with a qualified physician and treat any clinic marketing it for serious illness with strong caution.

Whole blood (drawn and re-infused, or treated within the body) · Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI), intravenous laser blood irradiation, photodynamic procedures performed in clinics

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

Blood Irradiation Therapy: dosing

There is no standardized, scientifically established dose or protocol for Blood Irradiation Therapy. Clinics vary widely in the light source used, the amount of blood treated, the length of exposure, and how many sessions are recommended.Because this is a procedure rather than a pill or supplement, there is no label dose to follow.

Having Blood Irradiation Therapy While Taking Paliperidone: Common Questions

Is it safe to have Blood Irradiation Therapy while taking Paliperidone?
We do not list a known interaction between Blood Irradiation Therapy and Paliperidone. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Blood Irradiation Therapy and Paliperidone have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Blood Irradiation Therapy and Paliperidone combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Paliperidone is filed under 5 classifications, and Blood Irradiation Therapy has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Paliperidone's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Blood Irradiation Therapy interact with any other medications?
Yes. Blood Irradiation Therapy has 327 documented drug interactions in our database — Paliperidone is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Paliperidone interact with any supplements?
Yes. Paliperidone has documented interactions with 64 supplements in our database — Blood Irradiation Therapy is not one of them. The Paliperidone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
