Cassia Nomame and Insulin Degludec

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 Insulin Degludec and Cassia Nomame 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 Cassia Nomame at all — not against Insulin Degludec, 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.

What Insulin Degludec’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cassia Nomame. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Insulin Degludec’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.

  • High blood sugar Worth acting on mentioned in 15.8% of FDA reports for Insulin Degludec
  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on mentioned in 9.4% of FDA reports for Insulin Degludec
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 20 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 Insulin Degludec. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 24,909 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Insulin Degludec that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Cassia Nomame’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cassia Nomame side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cassia Nomame has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Insulin Degludec page

“Insulin degludec (Tresiba) is a long-acting insulin meant to hold blood sugar steady around the clock, which means anything else that pushes glucose down can push it too far. That is the story for nearly all 239 ingredients on this page, and the list warrants genuine caution.”

Cassia Nomame 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 Cassia Nomame reference on this page ↓

  • 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 Cassia Nomame

What is Cassia Nomame?

  • Weight management
  • Reducing dietary fat absorption
  • Mild fluid retention (diuretic use)
  • Digestive support
  • General 'detox' or slimming blends

Cassia nomame is a legume plant traditionally used in parts of Asia and now marketed mainly in weight-loss supplements for its supposed ability to block fat absorption. Human evidence is very limited and weak, so it should not be relied on for weight loss. If you want to try it, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Chamaecrista nomame · Fabaceae · Whole plant (aerial parts), often used as a tea or extract · Capsules, tablets, tea, and standardized extracts (sometimes in weight-loss blends)

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

Cassia Nomame: dosing

There is no well-established or standardized dose for Cassia nomame. It is most often found in combination products, so the amount varies a lot from one brand to another.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label and do not take more than recommended.
