The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Divi-divi and Naltrexone 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.

Divi-divi and Naltrexone

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 Naltrexone and Divi-divi 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 Divi-divi at all — not against Naltrexone, 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.

What Naltrexone’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Divi-divi. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Naltrexone’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • A bowel blockage Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 62 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Naltrexone. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 40,504 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Naltrexone that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Divi-divi’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Divi-divi side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Divi-divi has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Naltrexone

This page covers Divi-divi only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Naltrexone page lists 56 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Wine (major) and Ashwagandha (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 43 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Naltrexone page

“The single biggest risk on this page is to your liver. Naltrexone (Vivitrol, Depade), prescribed for alcohol and opioid dependence, carries its own warnings about liver stress at higher doses, and 38 of the 56 supplements here share that liability, led by Siberian cocklebur, a major-rated entry tied to outright liver failure.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Divi-divi is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Divi-divi reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Divi-divi and Naltrexone records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Divi-divi

What is Divi-divi?

  • Source of tannins for tanning leather
  • Traditional astringent for skin
  • Mouth and throat irritation (traditional gargles)
  • Wound and sore care (folk use)
  • Mild digestive complaints (folk use)

Divi-divi is a tropical tree whose tannin-rich seed pods have long been used in leather tanning and in traditional folk remedies, mostly as an astringent. There is very little modern human research to support any health benefit, so it should not be relied on to treat any medical condition. If you are considering it, talk with a pharmacist or doctor first.

Caesalpinia coriaria · Fabaceae · Seed pods (and sometimes bark) · Powdered pod extract, decoctions, and traditional topical preparations

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

Divi-divi: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for divi-divi. Traditional preparations vary widely and are not measured in a consistent way.If you choose to use a product that contains divi-divi, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the suggested amount.

About Naltrexone

What Is Naltrexone Used For?

Brand names: Trexan, Depade, Vivitrol

Naltrexone Hydrochloride tablets are used to treat alcohol dependence and to block the effects of opioids in people with opioid dependence. The extended-release injectable suspension — sold as Vivitrol and also available as a generic injectable — is used to treat alcohol dependence and to prevent relapse to opioid dependence after a person has completed opioid detoxification.

All formulations are meant to be part of a broader treatment plan that includes counseling and other support — naltrexone works best when it is not used alone.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Naltrexone

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (40,504 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Injection site reaction 4,417 reports
Nausea 4,208 reports
Injection site pain 3,192 reports
Headache 2,685 reports
