The bottom line No known interaction

Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Fadogia Agrestis and Palifermin

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 Palifermin and Fadogia Agrestis 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 Fadogia Agrestis at all — not against Palifermin, 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 Palifermin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Fadogia Agrestis. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Palifermin’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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on mentioned in 6.2% of FDA reports for Palifermin
  • Fever mentioned in 16.0% of FDA reports for Palifermin
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Joint pain
  • A skin rash mentioned in 10.1% of FDA reports for Palifermin
  • Itching
  • Swelling

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Palifermin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 388 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Palifermin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Fadogia Agrestis’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Fadogia Agrestis side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Fadogia Agrestis has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Palifermin page

“Palifermin (Kepivance) is given by IV to prevent the severe mouth sores that intensive chemotherapy can cause, most often in patients heading into a stem cell transplant, and I read its interaction list with genuine caution because of how fragile those patients already are. All 17 supplements on file act on absorption through the gut,…”

About Fadogia Agrestis

What is Fadogia Agrestis?

  • Boosting testosterone
  • Improving libido and sexual function
  • Athletic performance and muscle building
  • Traditional African remedy for various ailments

Fadogia agrestis is a West African shrub marketed as a testosterone booster, but human evidence is essentially nonexistent and what we know comes mostly from a few small rat studies. Animal data raise real concerns about organ toxicity, so the safety of long-term use in people is unknown. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and avoid it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any underlying health conditions.

Fadogia agrestis · Rubiaceae · Stem (and sometimes leaves and roots) · Capsules, powders, and tinctures (often sold as a standardized extract)

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

Fadogia Agrestis: dosing

There is no established or proven safe dose of Fadogia agrestis for humans. The doses used in supplements are based on animal studies and manufacturer choices, not on human research.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Palifermin

What Is Palifermin Used For?

Brand name: Kepivance

Kepivance (palifermin) is used to decrease how often and how long severe oral mucositis — painful sores in the mouth and throat — occurs in patients with hematologic malignancies (blood cancers such as lymphoma, leukemia, or multiple myeloma) who are receiving high-dose, cell-damaging (myelotoxic) therapy before an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (a transplant using the patient's own stem cells).

Kepivance is specifically indicated when the preparative chemotherapy or radiation regimen is expected to cause severe mucositis in most patients. It is not recommended for use with a high-dose melphalan conditioning regimen, and it was not found to be effective in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplant (using a donor's cells). Its safety and effectiveness have not been established for patients with non-blood cancers (non-hematologic malignancies).

Most-Reported Side Effects for Palifermin

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (388 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Mucosal inflammation 56 reports
Febrile neutropenia 39 reports
Rash 39 reports
Stomatitis 34 reports
Erythema 28 reports
