Drug & supplement interaction

D-mannose + Lioresal

Lioresal brand name: Lioresal Injection.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Oct 4, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between D-mannose and Lioresal 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.

Interaction report

D-mannose and Lioresal

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 Lioresal and D-mannose 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 D-mannose at all — not against Lioresal, 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.

D-mannose safety at a glance

D-mannose overall Use caution Generally well tolerated short-term, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited.
Pregnancy Use caution Not enough reliable safety data, so it is best to avoid unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Breastfeeding Use caution Safety while breastfeeding is not well studied, so caution is advised.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests D-mannose and Lioresal 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.

  • Bloating or gas / Diarrhea / Nausea Additional detail

    D-mannose

    “Orally, D-mannose can cause loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and nausea. In children, loose stools and abdominal bloating have been reported at D-mannose doses ranging from 100 mg/kg three times daily to 150 mg/kg five times daily. Diarrhea has been reported in adults taking D-mannose 2 grams daily for 6 months.”

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Lioresal

This page covers D-mannose only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Lioresal page lists 10 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Procaine (major), Biofeedback (moderate), Dendrobium (moderate), Ginkgo (moderate) and Lithium (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 9 moderate.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lioresal page

“Lioresal is baclofen, a muscle relaxant prescribed for spasticity, and I would treat its supplement list with genuine care. Of the ten ingredients on file, six, including everyday picks like melatonin and ginkgo, may lower the seizure threshold, an added worry with a drug whose abrupt changes can already provoke seizures.”

About D-mannose

What is D-mannose?

D-mannose
  • Preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Treating mild UTIs
  • Urinary tract health
  • Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (a rare genetic condition)

D-mannose is a natural sugar most often used to help prevent urinary tract infections, especially those caused by E. coli. Early research is promising for prevention, but the evidence is still limited and it should not replace antibiotics for an active infection. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have diabetes.

Simple sugar (monosaccharide) derived from plants such as cranberries, apples, and other fruits and vegetables · Capsules, tablets, powder; often combined with cranberry

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

D-mannose: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose of D-mannose, and the amounts used in research have varied. Do not use D-mannose in place of prescribed antibiotics for an active infection.

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

About Baclofen

What Is Baclofen Used For?

Brand name: Lioresal Injection

Baclofen treats spasticity, which means stiff, tight muscles with spasms. Oral baclofen (tablets, Baclofen oral solution, Ozobax, Baclofen oral suspension, Fleqsuvy, Lyvispah) is used for spasticity from multiple sclerosis, especially flexor spasms with pain, clonus (rhythmic jerking) and muscle rigidity. It may also help some people with spinal cord injuries and other spinal cord diseases.

Intrathecal baclofen (Gablofen, Lioresal Intrathecal and other baclofen injections) is used for severe spasticity. It is given into the fluid around the spinal cord, usually through an implanted pump. It is not for skeletal muscle spasm from rheumatic disorders, and baclofen tablets are not recommended for stroke, cerebral palsy or Parkinson’s disease.

Taking D-mannose and Lioresal Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take D-mannose with Lioresal?
We do not list a known interaction between D-mannose and Lioresal. 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 D-mannose and Lioresal have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 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.
Does Lioresal interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lioresal has documented interactions with 10 supplements in our database — D-mannose is not one of them. The Lioresal interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
