Fever Bark and Danazol

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS

Why this applies to Danazol

Danazol falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS — the group Fever Bark interacts with.

Theoretically, CYP3A4 inhibitors might increase the levels and clinical effects of yohimbine, a constituent of fever bark.
In vitro and clinical research shows that the fever bark constituent, yohimbine, is metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to know about this pairing: it isn't really danazol that gets affected. Danazol acts as a mild blocker of an enzyme called CYP3A4, which is one of your body's cleanup crews for many substances. Fever bark contains yohimbine, and yohimbine is broken down by that same enzyme.

So in theory, danazol could slow the breakdown of yohimbine, letting it build up. That matters because yohimbine can raise blood pressure, speed up your heart, and cause jitteriness or anxiety. Keep in mind this is a theoretical concern based on how these chemicals behave, not on real-world reports. Honestly, fever bark is best avoided anyway given its strong alkaloids. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

This page covers Fever Bark only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Danazol page lists 50 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Adrafinil (moderate), Alfalfa (moderate), Angelica Archangelica (moderate) and Arrach (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 38 moderate · 11 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Danazol page

“Activated charcoal carries the only major rating on danazol's list. Danazol treats endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, and hereditary angioedema, conditions where a weakened dose has real consequences, and charcoal can soak up the drug in the gut before it reaches the blood.”

About Fever Bark

What is Fever Bark?

Fever Bark
  • Fever
  • Diarrhea
  • Malaria (traditional)
  • Digestive complaints
  • Bitter tonic

Fever bark is the bark of the Australian tree Alstonia constricta, used in traditional medicine for fever, diarrhea, and infections. There is very little reliable human research to support these uses, and the bark contains potent alkaloids that may cause serious side effects. It is best avoided unless used under direct medical supervision.

About Danazol

What Is Danazol Used For?

Brand names: Cyclomen, Danocrine

Danazol capsules are used to treat endometriosis — a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes infertility. It works by suppressing the hormonal cycle that drives this abnormal tissue growth.

Danazol capsules are also used to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema — a genetic condition that causes episodes of severe swelling in the skin, abdomen, face, and airway. All types of attacks (cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal) can be prevented with danazol.
