Interaction report

Eurycoma Longifolia and Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec

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 Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec and Eurycoma Longifolia 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.

Eurycoma Longifolia safety at a glance

Eurycoma Longifoli... overall Use caution Generally tolerated short-term in studies, but long-term safety and product quality are uncertain.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data and possible hormonal effects, so avoid during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety information, so it is best to avoid while breastfeeding.

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

Pharmacist analysis

Although there is no known interaction in this case, Eurycoma longifolia, most commonly known as Tongkat Ali, does have some potential interactions that are important to be aware of.

For example, it may interact with the following:

  • CYTOCHROME P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) SUBSTRATES
  • CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) SUBSTRATES
  • CYTOCHROME P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) SUBSTRATES
  • Propranolol
  • Testosterone

Tongkat Ali has been reported to inhibit certain metabolizing enzymes in the liver (the ones mentioned above) and therefore, may increase the levels of substances metabolized by those enzymes. This could potentially affect the way these substances work or how long they stay in your system.

In regard to propranolol, some studies show that Tongkat Ali decreases how well propranolol is absorbed in the gut and could reduce its effects. It is not known if separating administration will prevent this interaction/

Lastly, testosterone, Tongkat Ali may theoretically further increase levels of testosterone, a hormone responsible for various functions in the body. You should be cautious combining the two.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec is filed under a single classification — antidiabetes drugs. Eurycoma Longifolia has documented interactions with 5 drug classes — the most serious being propranolol (inderal) (moderate), cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (minor) and cytochrome p450 2a6 (cyp2a6) substrates (minor) — and none of Insulin Aspart, Insulin Degludec’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 Eurycoma Longifolia Itself Has Been Linked To

If something new turns up after you add Eurycoma Longifolia, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Liver problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Some research in both humans and animals suggests that Eurycoma longifolia might increase testosterone levels.

“Siberian cocklebur belongs at the top of any warning for people using Ryzodeg 70/30 (insulin aspart with insulin degludec). It has caused severe low blood sugar in humans, it is the one major-rated entry among the 239 ingredients on this page, and the documentation is strong enough that the safest course is simply not to take it.”
