The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Blueberry and Lesinurad 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.

Blueberry and Lesinurad

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 Lesinurad and Blueberry 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 Lesinurad

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lesinurad is filed under 4 classifications — including antigout drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inducers, cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates. Blueberry has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (minor), buspirone (buspar) (minor) and flurbiprofen (ansaid, others) (minor) — and none of Lesinurad’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 to actually watch for

What Blueberry Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Lesinurad. It is the side-effect record for Blueberry on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Blueberry, this list is the first place to look.

  • Constipation / Diarrhea / Vomiting / Nausea Additional detail

    “Orally, freeze-dried blueberries may cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In one clinical trial, 26% of patients taking freeze-dried blueberries 50 grams daily dropped out in the first week of the study due to gastrointestinal complaints.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Blueberry — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We haven’t matched Lesinurad to its FDA label in our system yet, so we can’t compare its own side-effect list here — the leaflet that comes with your prescription is the authoritative list for Lesinurad.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Lesinurad

This page covers Blueberry only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Lesinurad page lists 97 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Adrafinil (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate), Alkanna (moderate) and Alpine Ragwort (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 74 moderate · 22 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lesinurad page

“Activated charcoal is the one major-rated entry among the 97 supplements and herbs on file for lesinurad (Zurampic), and it undermines the drug directly. Charcoal binds medicines in the gut and can cut how much lesinurad you absorb, letting uric acid climb and gout flare.”

About Blueberry

What is Blueberry?

  • Antioxidant support
  • Heart health
  • Brain and memory health
  • Blood sugar support
  • Eye health
  • Urinary health

Blueberries are a nutritious fruit rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins, and eating them as part of a balanced diet is healthy and safe for most people. Concentrated supplements are marketed for heart, brain, and blood sugar health, but the evidence is mostly early and not strong enough to promise specific benefits. Enjoy blueberries as food, and talk to your pharmacist before using high-dose extracts.

Vaccinium spp. · Ericaceae · Fruit (berries); sometimes leaves · Fresh or frozen fruit, juice, dried berries, powder, extract capsules, tea

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

Blueberry: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of blueberry for any health condition. As a food, a typical serving is around a half to one cup of fresh berries, which most people can enjoy daily.For supplements such as extract capsules, powders, or juices, the right amount varies by product, and a proven medical dose has not been established.

About Lesinurad

What Is Lesinurad Used For?

Brand name: Zurampic

  • Lesinurad is used in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor to treat hyperuricemia (high levels of uric acid) in people with gout (sudden attacks of redness, swelling, pain, and heat in one or more joints) whose disease is not controlled with their current medication. Lesinurad is in a class of medications called selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitors. It works by helping the kidneys to remove uric acid from the body.
