Feingold Diet and Flibanserin

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 Flibanserin and Feingold Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Feingold Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Feingold Diet at all — not against Flibanserin, 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.

Feingold Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. 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.

Feingold Diet safety at a glance

Feingold Diet overall Use caution Generally low risk, but restrictive diets in children can lead to nutrition gaps if not supervised.
Pregnancy Use caution The diet is aimed at children; pregnant people should not follow restrictive diets without medical guidance.
Breastfeeding Use caution Restricting your own diet while breastfeeding is not recommended without a clinician's advice.

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

What Flibanserin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Feingold Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Flibanserin’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 follow Feingold Diet and take the medicine. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Drowsiness mentioned in 8.4% of FDA reports for Flibanserin
  • Trouble sleeping mentioned in 7.1% of FDA reports for Flibanserin
  • Dizziness mentioned in 16.6% of FDA reports for Flibanserin
  • Dry mouth
  • Low blood pressure
  • Anxiety or restlessness
  • Tiredness mentioned in 7.1% of FDA reports for Flibanserin
  • Constipation

Showing the 10 most notable of 11 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 Flibanserin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,994 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Flibanserin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Feingold Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Feingold Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Feingold Diet has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Flibanserin page

“Flibanserin (Addyi) is a nightly pill for low sexual desire in premenopausal women, and because it is sedating and can lower blood pressure, its supplement list deserves genuine care; nine of the 199 entries rate major, and those are the ones to learn first. Seventy-eight ingredients have calming effects that stack with flibanserin's d…”

About Feingold Diet

What is Feingold Diet?

  • Hyperactivity (ADHD) in children
  • Behavioral problems in kids
  • Attention and focus concerns
  • Childhood sleep and mood issues

The Feingold Diet is an elimination eating plan that removes certain artificial food colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, and some natural salicylate-containing foods, mainly to reduce hyperactivity in children. Scientific evidence is mixed and limited, though a small number of children may be sensitive to specific food additives. If you try it, work with a pediatrician or registered dietitian so your child still gets balanced nutrition.

Elimination diet / structured eating plan

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

Feingold Diet: dosing

There is no pill or standardized "dose" for the Feingold Diet — it is a pattern of eating. It is typically done in phases: a stricter starting period that removes targeted additives and salicylate-rich foods, followed by gradual reintroduction to identify specific triggers.Because the diet can be complex and restrictive, it is best to follow program guidance and work with a registered dietitian or pediatrician to make sure your child's overall diet stays balanced.
