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

We found no known interaction between Cauliflower and Clofazimine 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 Clofazimine states a food rule worth keeping to.

Cauliflower and Clofazimine

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 Clofazimine and Cauliflower 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.

Cauliflower safety at a glance

Cauliflower overall Generally safe Cauliflower is safe and nutritious for most people when eaten as a food.
Pregnancy Generally safe Cauliflower as a normal food is considered safe in pregnancy; concentrated supplements are not well studied.
Breastfeeding Generally safe Eating cauliflower is generally safe while breastfeeding, though some parents notice it makes babies gassier.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Clofazimine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Clofazimine is filed under 3 classifications — antibiotic drugs, photosensitizing drugs, oral drugs. Cauliflower has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (moderate) — and none of Clofazimine’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 Clofazimine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cauliflower. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Clofazimine’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. 9 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on mentioned in 12.0% of FDA reports for Clofazimine
  • A bowel blockage Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on mentioned in 7.5% of FDA reports for Clofazimine
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A change in taste

Showing the 10 most notable of 24 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 Clofazimine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 6,351 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Clofazimine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Cauliflower’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cauliflower side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cauliflower has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Clofazimine Products Have a Food Rule — Cauliflower Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Clofazimine says to take it with food. If you take Cauliflower on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Clofazimine with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Clofazimine 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 For dapsone-sensitive lepromatous leprosy, 100 mg (two 50 mg capsules) daily with meals as a part of a combination regimen for at least 2 years is recommended.

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

This page covers Cauliflower only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Clofazimine page lists 64 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Alfalfa (moderate), Angelica Archangelica (moderate), Arrach (moderate) and Bacillus Coagulans (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 52 moderate · 11 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clofazimine page

“Clofazimine (Lamprene) treats leprosy for months or years, so anything that quietly drains its blood levels deserves genuine caution. Activated charcoal is the single major-rated interaction among the 64 on file, binding the drug and cutting how much reaches your body.”

About Cauliflower

What is Cauliflower?

  • General nutrition and a low-carb vegetable
  • Source of vitamin C and fiber
  • Antioxidant support
  • Digestive and gut health
  • Part of a heart-healthy diet

Cauliflower is a nutritious cruciferous vegetable that provides vitamin C, fiber, and plant compounds called glucosinolates. As a food it is healthy and safe for most people, but there is no strong proof that cauliflower supplements treat or prevent any specific disease. Enjoy it as part of a balanced diet rather than relying on pills.

Brassica oleracea var. botrytis · Brassicaceae · Edible flower head (curd); leaves and stalk are also eaten · Fresh or frozen vegetable, cooked dishes, riced cauliflower, powder, and capsules or extracts

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

Cauliflower: dosing

There is no established medicinal dose for cauliflower. As a food, it is simply included as one of several vegetable servings in a balanced diet, and there is no specific amount you must reach to be healthy.For cauliflower powders, capsules, or extracts, follow the directions on the product label, since strengths vary widely between products and none is standardized.

About Clofazimine

What Is Clofazimine Used For?

Brand name: Lamprene

Lamprene (clofazimine) is used to treat lepromatous leprosy — the most severe form of leprosy — including cases where the bacteria have become resistant to dapsone. It is also used when leprosy is complicated by erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), a painful inflammatory reaction that can occur alongside the infection.

Lamprene is always used as part of a combination regimen with other anti-leprosy drugs. Using it alone for initial treatment raises the risk of drug resistance.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Clofazimine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (0 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Electrocardiogram qt prolonged 762 reports
Nausea 563 reports
Vomiting 503 reports
Anemia 474 reports
Dyspnea 403 reports

Taking Cauliflower and Clofazimine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Cauliflower with Clofazimine?
We do not list a known interaction between Cauliflower and Clofazimine. 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.
Should I take Cauliflower and Clofazimine at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Clofazimine says to take it with food. If you take Cauliflower on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Clofazimine with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Clofazimine products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Cauliflower and Clofazimine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Clofazimine is filed under 3 classifications, and Cauliflower has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Clofazimine'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 Cauliflower interact with any other medications?
Yes. Cauliflower has 186 documented drug interactions in our database — Clofazimine 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 Clofazimine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Clofazimine has documented interactions with 64 supplements in our database — Cauliflower is not one of them. The Clofazimine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
