The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Coffee and Fluciclovine F-18 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.

Coffee and Fluciclovine F-18

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 Fluciclovine F-18 and Coffee 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.

What to actually watch for

What Coffee Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Fluciclovine F-18. It is the side-effect record for Coffee on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Coffee, this list is the first place to look. 6 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, coffee containing caffeine can cause anxiety. This is more likely with increasing intake of caffeine and in certain populations (e.g., children, elderly). With chronic use, especially in large amounts, habituation, tolerance, and psychological dependence can occur. Other researchers suggest symptoms such as depressed mood are typical of caffeine withdrawal.”

    Epidemiological evidence regarding the relationship between caffeine use and the risk for osteoporosis is contradictory. Caffeine can increase urinary excretion of calcium.”

Special populations

Coffee in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Possibly Safe

When used orally in moderate amounts. Intake of caffeine from coffee and other sources should be monitored during pregnancy. Caffeine crosses the human placenta, but is not considered a teratogen. Fetal blood and tissue levels are similar to maternal concentrations. The use of caffeine during pregnancy is controversial; however, moderate consumption has not been associated with clinically important adverse fetal effects. However, some research has also found that intrauterine exposure to even modest amounts of caffeine, based on maternal blood levels during the first trimester, is associated with a shorter stature in children ages 4-8 years. In some studies, consuming amounts over 200 mg daily has been associated with a significantly increased risk of miscarriage. This increased risk may be most likely to occur in people with genotypes that confer a slow rate of caffeine metabolism. According to a review by Health Canada, and a subsequent large meta-analysis conducted in the US, most healthy pregnant patients can safely consume caffeine in doses up to 300 mg daily without an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, preterm birth, fetal growth retardation, or congenital malformations. Advise patients to keep caffeine consumption below 300 mg daily during pregnancy. This is similar to the amount of caffeine in about 3 cups of coffee. Keep in mind that only the amount of ADDED caffeine must be stated on product labels. The amount of caffeine found in ingredients such as coffee, which naturally contains caffeine, does not need to be provided. This can make it difficult to determine the total amount of caffeine in a given product.

Pregnancy Possibly Unsafe

When caffeinated coffee providing more than 300 mg of caffeine daily is consumed orally. Caffeine from coffee crosses the placenta, producing fetal blood concentrations similar to maternal levels. Consumption of caffeine in amounts over 300 mg daily is associated with a significantly increased risk of miscarriage in some studies. Advise patients to keep caffeine consumption from all sources below 300 mg daily during pregnancy. This is similar to the amount of caffeine in about 3 cups of coffee. High doses of caffeine throughout pregnancy have resulted in symptoms of caffeine withdrawal in newborn infants. High doses of caffeine have also been associated with spontaneous abortion, premature delivery, and low birth weight. Drinking more than 6 cups of coffee daily increases the risk of spontaneous abortion. Drinking 8 or more cups of coffee daily doubles the risk of stillbirth when compared with those who do not drink coffee during pregnancy.

Lactation Possibly Safe

When used orally. Drinking one or two caffeine-containing beverages daily during lactation is not associated with unacceptable levels of caffeine in human milk.

Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When used orally in large amounts. Caffeine from coffee can cause wakefulness or irritability in breast-fed infants. Caffeine can also cause feeding intolerance and gastrointestinal irritation in infants.

About Coffee

What is Coffee?

  • Alertness and reducing fatigue
  • Mental focus and concentration
  • Athletic performance
  • Headache relief
  • Weight management

Coffee is a widely consumed beverage made from roasted coffee beans, valued mainly for its caffeine, which boosts alertness and energy. For most healthy adults, moderate coffee intake is generally safe and may have some health benefits, but too much can cause jitteriness, poor sleep, and a faster heartbeat. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or sensitive to caffeine should limit their intake and check with a doctor or pharmacist.

Coffea arabica · Rubiaceae · Roasted seeds (beans) of the coffee fruit · Brewed coffee, instant coffee, espresso, capsules, green coffee bean extract, decaffeinated coffee

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

Coffee: dosing

There is no single official dose for coffee as a supplement. Many health authorities suggest that up to about 400 milligrams of caffeine per day is moderate for most healthy adults, which is roughly a few cups of brewed coffee, but individual tolerance varies a lot.If you use coffee capsules or extracts, follow the directions on the product label, since caffeine content can differ widely between products.
