Drug & supplement interaction

Chive + Plazomicin Sulfate

Plazomicin Sulfate brand name: Zemdri.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Chive and Plazomicin Sulfate 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.

Chive and Plazomicin Sulfate

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 Plazomicin Sulfate and Chive 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 Chive at all — not against Plazomicin Sulfate, 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 Chive and Plazomicin Sulfate May Share a Side Effect

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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Plazomicin Sulfate

This page covers Chive only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Plazomicin Sulfate page lists 35 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Asarabacca (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Aristolochia (moderate), Bacillus Coagulans (moderate) and Bacillus Subtilis (moderate).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Plazomicin Sulfate page

“Plazomicin (Zemdri) is an IV antibiotic reserved for serious urinary tract infections, and like other aminoglycosides it can strain the kidneys all by itself. That is why the two major-rated entries on this list matter most: Siberian cocklebur and asarabacca can both harm the kidneys, and stacking either onto plazomicin could compound…”

About Chive

What is Chive?

  • Culinary flavoring
  • Digestive support
  • General immune support
  • Antimicrobial
  • Source of vitamins and antioxidants

Chive is a common kitchen herb in the onion and garlic family that is safe and nutritious when eaten as food. There is little human research supporting it as a medicine, so any health benefits beyond basic nutrition are not well proven. Enjoy it in cooking, and talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated chive supplements.

Allium schoenoprasum · Amaryllidaceae · Leaves (and sometimes flowers and bulbs) · Fresh or dried herb, culinary seasoning, powder, occasional supplement extracts

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

Chive: dosing

There is no established medicinal dose for chive. It is normally used in whatever amount tastes good in food.

From our Chive monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

About Plazomicin Injection

What Is Plazomicin Injection Used For?

Brand name: Zemdri

Zemdri (plazomicin) is used in adults 18 and older to treat complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including pyelonephritis (kidney infection). It is for infections caused by certain susceptible bacteria: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis and Enterobacter cloacae.

Because only limited safety and effectiveness data are available, it is reserved for people with limited or no alternative treatment options. It does not treat viral infections.

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.
