Drug & supplement interaction

Corkwood Tree + Darolutamide

Darolutamide brand name: Nubeqa.

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 Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide 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 label for Darolutamide states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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.

Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide

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 Darolutamide and Corkwood Tree 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Darolutamide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Darolutamide is filed under 3 classifications — p-glycoprotein substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Corkwood Tree has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being anticholinergic drugs (moderate) — and none of Darolutamide’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide 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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

How to take them

Some Darolutamide Products Have a Food Rule — Corkwood Tree Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Darolutamide says to take it with food. If you take Corkwood Tree on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Darolutamide with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Darolutamide products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

Take NUBEQA with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Darolutamide — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Darolutamide

This page covers Corkwood Tree only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Darolutamide page lists 144 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 103 moderate · 38 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Darolutamide page

“Darolutamide (Nubeqa) treats prostate cancer, and supplements deserve real caution alongside it, because most of those listed here can change how much of the drug stays in your blood. Nearly all act on CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that breaks darolutamide down, or on the transport proteins that move it through cells.”

About Corkwood Tree

What is Corkwood Tree?

  • Source of scopolamine and hyoscyamine alkaloids
  • Traditional use as a stimulant or for fatigue
  • Historic use for motion sickness (via its alkaloids)
  • Antispasmodic / smooth muscle effects

Corkwood Tree (Duboisia myoporoides) is an Australian plant best known as a commercial source of powerful tropane alkaloids like scopolamine and hyoscyamine, not as a safe home remedy. The raw plant is highly toxic and should not be used as a dietary supplement; only purified, medically prescribed alkaloids derived from it should be used, and only under a doctor's care.

Duboisia myoporoides · Solanaceae · Leaves · Not commonly sold as a consumer supplement; historically a source of plant extracts and isolated alkaloids

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

Corkwood Tree: dosing

There is no safe established dose of Corkwood Tree leaf for self-use, and it should not be taken as a supplement. The only appropriate use of compounds from this plant is in standardized, prescription medicines (such as scopolamine or hyoscyamine) that are dosed and monitored by healthcare professionals.If you have been given a medicine derived from this plant, follow the product label and your prescriber's directions exactly. Do not attempt to make or use any homemade preparation.

About Darolutamide

What Is Darolutamide Used For?

Brand name: Nubeqa

Nubeqa (darolutamide) tablets are approved for adult men with two forms of advanced prostate cancer. The first is non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) — cancer that keeps growing despite hormone-lowering therapy and has not yet spread to other parts of the body. The second is metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) — cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone-lowering treatment.

For mCSPC, Nubeqa can be used alone or in combination with docetaxel (a chemotherapy medicine). In all cases, patients also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist — a medicine that lowers testosterone — or have already had surgery to remove the testicles.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Darolutamide

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (5,501 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Taking Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Corkwood Tree with Darolutamide?
We do not list a known interaction between Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Should I take Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Darolutamide says to take it with food. If you take Corkwood Tree on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Darolutamide with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Darolutamide products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Corkwood Tree and Darolutamide combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Darolutamide is filed under 3 classifications, and Corkwood Tree has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Darolutamide's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Corkwood Tree interact with any other medications?
Yes. Corkwood Tree has 195 documented drug interactions in our database — Darolutamide is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Darolutamide interact with any supplements?
Yes. Darolutamide has documented interactions with 144 supplements in our database — Corkwood Tree is not one of them. The Darolutamide interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
