Drug & supplement interaction

Catnip + Olutasidenib

Olutasidenib brand name: Rezlidihia.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Catnip and Olutasidenib 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 Olutasidenib states a food rule worth keeping to, and the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Catnip and Olutasidenib

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 Olutasidenib and Catnip 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.

Catnip safety at a glance

Catnip overall Use caution Likely fine for most adults in tea amounts, but human safety data are limited.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid during pregnancy, as it may stimulate the uterus and safety is not established.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information is available, so it is best avoided.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Olutasidenib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Olutasidenib is filed under 4 classifications — including cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inducers, hepatotoxic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Catnip has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being cns depressants (moderate) and lithium (moderate) — and none of Olutasidenib’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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Catnip and Olutasidenib May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Tiredness / Headache Additional detail

    Catnip

    “Orally, taking too much catnip may result in headache and malaise (6). In one case, a toddler developed a stomachache and irritability, followed by lethargy and a hypnotic state, after ingesting raisins soaked in catnip tea and chewing on the tea bag (5,2596).”

How to take them

Some Olutasidenib Products Have a Food Rule — Catnip Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Olutasidenib says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Catnip included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Olutasidenib on its own and move Catnip 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 Olutasidenib 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.

( 2.2 ) Take on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Olutasidenib — 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Olutasidenib

This page covers Catnip only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Olutasidenib page lists 180 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Grapefruit (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major) and St. John's Wort (major).

By severity: 6 major · 137 moderate · 37 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Olutasidenib page

“Olutasidenib (Rezlidihia) treats a form of acute myeloid leukemia, where keeping drug levels steady genuinely matters, so I'd approach this list with real care. Six of the 180 ingredients rate major, and they split into two problems: products that change how much olutasidenib reaches your blood, and products that strain the liver.”

About Catnip

What is Catnip?

Catnip
  • Sleep and insomnia
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Digestive upset
  • Cold and flu symptoms
  • Insect repellent

Catnip is a mint-family herb most often used as a calming tea for sleep, anxiety, and minor digestive upset, but solid human research supporting these uses is lacking. It is generally considered fairly safe in small culinary or tea amounts for most adults, but it should be avoided during pregnancy and used cautiously otherwise. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you take medications or have a health condition.

Nepeta cataria · Lamiaceae · Leaves, flowers, and essential oil · Tea, capsules, tincture, dried herb, essential oil

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

Catnip: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for catnip. Amounts used in traditional practice vary widely, and reliable dosing guidelines from clinical studies are not available.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

About Olutasidenib

What Is Olutasidenib Used For?

Brand name: Rezlidihia

Rezlidhia (olutasidenib) is used to treat adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) — a fast-moving blood cancer — when the disease has come back or stopped responding to previous treatment.

Taking Catnip and Olutasidenib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Catnip with Olutasidenib?
We do not list a known interaction between Catnip and Olutasidenib. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Catnip and Olutasidenib have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Should I take Catnip and Olutasidenib at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Olutasidenib says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Olutasidenib on its own and move Catnip to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Catnip and Olutasidenib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Olutasidenib is filed under 4 classifications, and Catnip has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Olutasidenib's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Catnip interact with any other medications?
Yes. Catnip has 248 documented drug interactions in our database — Olutasidenib is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Olutasidenib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Olutasidenib has documented interactions with 180 supplements in our database — Catnip is not one of them. The Olutasidenib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
