Cassia Auriculata 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 Cassia Auriculata 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.

Cassia Auriculata overall Use caution Generally used in traditional diets, but human safety data is limited.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Aztreonam

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Aztreonam is filed under a single classification — antibiotic drugs. Cassia Auriculata has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) and carbamazepine (tegretol) (moderate) — and none of Aztreonam’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 Aztreonam’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cassia Auriculata. 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. Cassia Auriculata’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cassia Auriculata side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cassia Auriculata has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Aztreonam

This page covers Cassia Auriculata only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Aztreonam page lists 27 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Bacillus Coagulans (moderate), Bacillus Subtilis (moderate), Bifidobacterium Animalis Subsp. Lactis (moderate), Bifidobacterium Bifidum (moderate) and Bifidobacterium Breve (moderate).

By severity: 26 moderate · 1 minor.

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 Cassia Auriculata

What is Cassia Auriculata?

  • Blood sugar support
  • Skin health
  • Urinary complaints
  • Digestive upset
  • General tonic and antioxidant

Cassia auriculata (often called Tanner's cassia or Avaram) is a flowering shrub used in traditional Indian medicine, especially for blood sugar and skin concerns. Most evidence comes from laboratory and animal studies, so its benefits in people are not well proven. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, particularly if you take diabetes medicine or are pregnant.

Senna auriculata · Fabaceae · Flowers, leaves, bark, seeds, and roots · Tea, powder (churna), capsules, and traditional decoctions

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

Cassia Auriculata: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for Cassia auriculata. Traditional use has varied widely depending on the part of the plant and the preparation, such as a tea made from dried flowers or a powder.Because supplements differ in strength, the best advice is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

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
