Chrysin and Ibuprofen, Oxycodone

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Ibuprofen, Oxycodone

Ibuprofen, Oxycodone falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Chrysin interacts with.

Theoretically, chrysin might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that chrysin might inhibit platelet aggregation.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Combunox combines ibuprofen (an NSAID) with oxycodone (an opioid pain reliever). The piece that matters here is the ibuprofen. On its own, ibuprofen already nudges your platelets, the cells that help your blood clot, making it a little harder for them to stick together. Chrysin, at least in test-tube studies, may do something similar.

So the worry is mostly additive: stacking the two could theoretically make you bruise more easily or bleed a bit longer, including stomach irritation or stomach bleeding that ibuprofen can already cause. Keep in mind this is theoretical, based only on lab work, and your body absorbs very little chrysin. Still, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist before combining them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ibuprofen, Oxycodone page

“Combunox puts oxycodone, an opioid, together with the NSAID ibuprofen, and I want you to read this page carefully rather than skim it. Of the 356 supplements and herbs on file, 202 can raise your bleeding risk on top of what ibuprofen already does, and 78 can deepen the drowsiness and slowed breathing that come with oxycodone.”

About Chrysin

What is Chrysin?

  • Bodybuilding and testosterone support
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Antioxidant support
  • Prostate health

Chrysin is a plant flavonoid sold mainly as a bodybuilding supplement claimed to raise testosterone or block estrogen, but human studies have not shown these benefits, largely because the body absorbs very little of it. Evidence for its other proposed uses is mostly limited to laboratory and animal research, so its real-world value is unclear. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.
