Cocillana + Docetaxel
Docetaxel brand name: Taxotere.
We found no known interaction between Cocillana and Docetaxel 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.
Cocillana and Docetaxel
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 Docetaxel and Cocillana 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 Cocillana at all — not against Docetaxel, 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Docetaxel
This page covers Cocillana only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Docetaxel page lists 121 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate), Adrafinil (moderate) and African Wild Potato (moderate).
By severity: 2 major · 87 moderate · 32 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Docetaxel page
“Grapefruit is the first thing I would take off the menu during docetaxel (Taxotere) chemotherapy. It blocks CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that clears docetaxel, and higher levels of a chemotherapy drug mean harsher side effects, not better results.”

About Cocillana
What is Cocillana?
- Cough relief
- Chest congestion
- Loosening mucus (expectorant)
- Bronchitis symptoms
Cocillana is a tree bark traditionally used as an expectorant in cough and cold remedies, often blended with other ingredients. There is very little modern scientific evidence to confirm how well it works, and it can cause nausea or vomiting in higher amounts, so use it cautiously and check with a pharmacist first.
Guarea rusbyi · Meliaceae · Dried bark · Liquid extract, tincture, syrup (often combined with other cough ingredients), tablets
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Cocillana is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Cocillana record says about it on its own.
Cocillana: dosing
There is no well-established standardized dose for cocillana, and it is usually found as one ingredient among several in cough products. Because higher doses can cause vomiting, the amounts used are typically small.If you choose to use a product containing cocillana, follow the directions on the label exactly and do not take more than recommended.
