Carbon 60 (c60) + Octreotide
Octreotide brand names: Sandostatin, Mycapssa.
We found no known interaction between Carbon 60 (c60) and Octreotide 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 label for Octreotide states a food rule worth keeping to.
Carbon 60 (c60) and Octreotide
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 Octreotide and Carbon 60 (c60) 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 Carbon 60 (c60) at all — not against Octreotide, 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.
Carbon 60 (c60) safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Octreotide Products Have a Food Rule — Carbon 60 (c60) Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Octreotide says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Carbon 60 (c60) included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Octreotide on its own and move Carbon 60 (c60) to a meal later in the day.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Octreotide products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Take MYCAPSSA orally with a glass of water on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before a meal or at least 2 hours after a meal ( 2.1 ).
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Octreotide — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Octreotide page
“Take this page with genuine care if you use octreotide (Sandostatin injections or Mycapssa capsules) for acromegaly or hormone-secreting tumors, since steady drug levels are what keep symptoms suppressed. Of the 30 ingredients on file, one rates major, activated charcoal, which can pull octreotide out of circulation and blunt its effec…”

Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Carbon 60 (c60) is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Carbon 60 (c60) reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Carbon 60 (c60) and Octreotide records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About Carbon 60 (c60)
What is Carbon 60 (c60)?
- Antioxidant support
- Anti-aging and longevity
- Energy and vitality
- Athletic recovery
- General wellness
Carbon 60 (C60) is a man-made molecule made of 60 carbon atoms, usually sold dissolved in oil and marketed as a powerful antioxidant or anti-aging supplement. Despite bold marketing, there is no good human evidence that it provides any of these benefits, and its long-term safety in people is unknown. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Not applicable (synthetic carbon molecule) · Liquid (C60 dissolved in oils such as olive, coconut, or avocado oil), softgels, capsules
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Carbon 60 (c60) is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Carbon 60 (c60) record says about it on its own.
Carbon 60 (c60): dosing
There is no established or standardized dose for C60. Because there are no reliable human studies, no one can say what amount is safe or effective.If you choose to use a C60 product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. It is a good idea to choose products from companies that provide third-party testing for purity.

About Octreotide
What Is Octreotide Used For?
Brand names: Sandostatin, Mycapssa
Octreotide injection (available as Sandostatin, BYNFEZIA Pen, and other octreotide acetate injection products) is used to lower abnormally high growth hormone and IGF-1 levels in acromegaly, and to reduce the severe diarrhea and flushing associated with metastatic carcinoid tumors and the profuse watery diarrhea caused by VIPomas (vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumors).
Mycapssa, the oral delayed-release capsule, is approved specifically for long-term maintenance treatment of acromegaly in patients who have already responded to and tolerated treatment with octreotide or lanreotide injections. It is not indicated for carcinoid tumors or VIPomas.
