Cabbage Soup Diet and Ethacrynic Acid

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 Ethacrynic Acid and Cabbage Soup Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Cabbage Soup Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Cabbage Soup Diet at all — not against Ethacrynic Acid, 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.

Cabbage Soup Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. 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.

Cabbage Soup Diet safety at a glance

Cabbage Soup Diet overall Use caution It is very low in calories and nutrients and is only meant for a short time, so it is not suitable for everyone.
Pregnancy Avoid Pregnancy needs steady, balanced nutrition, so this very low-calorie diet should be avoided.
Breastfeeding Avoid Nursing mothers need adequate calories and nutrients, so this restrictive diet should be avoided.

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

What Ethacrynic Acid’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cabbage Soup Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ethacrynic Acid’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 follow Cabbage Soup Diet and take the medicine. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 26 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 Ethacrynic Acid. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 544 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ethacrynic Acid that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Cabbage Soup Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cabbage Soup Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cabbage Soup Diet has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ethacrynic Acid page

“Ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) is a potent loop diuretic, a water pill used to pull off serious fluid buildup, and its supplement list deserves genuine care, starting with the seven entries rated major.

About Cabbage Soup Diet

What is Cabbage Soup Diet?

  • Rapid short-term weight loss
  • Quick jump-start before an event
  • Detox or cleanse beliefs
  • Kickstarting a longer diet

The Cabbage Soup Diet is a very low-calorie, 7-day fad diet built around eating large amounts of a cabbage-based soup. It may cause quick water and weight loss, but the loss is usually temporary, the diet is not nutritionally balanced, and most people regain the weight. It is not a healthy long-term plan, and people should talk to a doctor or pharmacist before trying it.

Homemade cabbage-based soup eaten as part of a fixed 7-day meal plan

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

Cabbage Soup Diet: dosing

There is no official or standardized version of the Cabbage Soup Diet. Most plans last about 7 days, with unlimited cabbage soup plus a short list of allowed foods that changes each day.Because the diet is not nutritionally balanced, experts advise against following it longer than a week or repeating it back-to-back.

About Ethacrynic Acid

What Is Ethacrynic Acid Used For?

Brand name: Edecrin

Ethacrynic acid tablets (sold as Edecrin and Ethacrynic Acid) are used to treat edema — excess fluid that builds up in the body — when other, milder diuretics aren't strong enough. It treats edema related to congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease, including nephrotic syndrome (a kidney condition that causes protein loss and swelling).

It is also used for short-term management of fluid buildup from malignancy (cancer-related ascites), idiopathic edema (swelling with no clear cause), and lymphedema (swelling from a blocked lymph system). In hospitalized children (not infants), it may be used short-term for edema related to congenital heart disease or nephrotic syndrome.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ethacrynic Acid

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (544 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms 59 reports
Nausea 47 reports
Dyspnea 43 reports
Acute kidney injury 33 reports
Diarrhea 33 reports
