Drug & supplement interaction

Chaulmoogra + Solriamfetol

Solriamfetol brand name: Sunosi.

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 Chaulmoogra and Solriamfetol 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 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.

Chaulmoogra and Solriamfetol

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 Solriamfetol and Chaulmoogra 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 Chaulmoogra at all — not against Solriamfetol, 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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Chaulmoogra and Solriamfetol 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on Additional detail

    Chaulmoogra

    “Orally, ingestion of the seed can cause cough, dyspnea, laryngospasms, nephrotoxicity, visual disorders, head and muscle pain, and central paralysis (18).

    Topically, use can cause skin irritation (18).”

  • Cough Additional detail

    Chaulmoogra

    Recorded for Chaulmoogra in the same Natural Medicines adverse-effect record shown under Shortness of breath above.

    Solriamfetol

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Solriamfetol. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Chaulmoogra but not commonly for Solriamfetol: kidney problems and muscle pain.

Effects for Solriamfetol come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Chaulmoogra come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 3,694 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Solriamfetol that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Solriamfetol page

“Solriamfetol (Sunosi) promotes wakefulness in people with narcolepsy or sleep apnea by acting, in part, like a stimulant, and that is exactly why this page deserves careful attention rather than a quick skim. The great majority of the 61 interacting ingredients are stimulants themselves, so adding them can push blood pressure and heart…”

About Chaulmoogra

What is Chaulmoogra?

  • Leprosy (historical)
  • Skin conditions and rashes
  • Wound and sore care
  • Eczema and psoriasis (traditional)
  • Rheumatic complaints (traditional)

Chaulmoogra oil is an old herbal remedy famous for being the main treatment for leprosy before modern antibiotics. Today it has been replaced by safer, more effective drugs, and there is little reliable modern evidence to support its use. If you are considering it, talk to a pharmacist or doctor first, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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

Chaulmoogra: dosing

There is no established, standardized dose for chaulmoogra in modern use, and it is not a recommended treatment today. Historical doses varied widely and were used under medical supervision in an era before modern drugs.If you find a product that contains chaulmoogra, follow the directions on the label and do not use it internally.

About Solriamfetol

What Is Solriamfetol Used For?

Brand name: Sunosi

Sunosi (solriamfetol) is approved to improve wakefulness in adults who experience excessive daytime sleepiness caused by narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Important: Sunosi does not treat the airway obstruction that causes OSA. If you have OSA, you must continue your existing treatment — such as CPAP (a breathing machine worn at night) — throughout your time on Sunosi. Sunosi is not a replacement for those therapies.
