Drug & supplement interaction

Fever Bark + Omeprazole

Omeprazole brand names: Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Fever Bark and Omeprazole 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Fever Bark and Omeprazole

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 Omeprazole and Fever Bark 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.

Fever Bark safety at a glance

Fever Bark overall Use caution The bark contains strong alkaloids and is not recommended without professional supervision.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data and potent alkaloids make it unsafe to use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety information exists, so avoid use while breastfeeding.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Omeprazole

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Omeprazole is filed under 10 classifications — including proton pump inhibitors (ppis), cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inducers. Fever Bark has documented interactions with 9 drug classes — the most serious being anesthesia (major), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois) (major) and antihypertensive drugs (moderate) — and none of Omeprazole’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Fever Bark and Omeprazole May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Cough Additional detail

    Fever Bark

    “The yohimbine constituent of fever bark, when taken alone, may cause bronchospasm, tachynpea, cough, and rhinorrhea. The reserpine constituent of fever bark, when taken alone, may cause nasal congestion or bronchospasm (15,94328). It is not known if this occurs with fever bark.”

    Omeprazole

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Omeprazole. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Fever Bark but not commonly for Omeprazole: stomach upset, an allergic reaction, a stuffy or runny nose and heart failure.

Effects for Omeprazole come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Fever Bark come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 448,293 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Omeprazole that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Omeprazole

This page covers Fever Bark only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Omeprazole page lists 174 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 121 moderate · 50 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Omeprazole page

“Omeprazole (Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec) is an acid reducer for heartburn, reflux, and ulcers, and because it sits on pharmacy shelves next to the vitamins, people tend to assume it mixes safely with anything. This list argues otherwise, and it warrants genuine care.”

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.

Alstonia constricta · Apocynaceae · Bark · Bark powder, tincture, liquid extract, capsules

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

Fever Bark: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for fever bark. Because the bark contains potent alkaloids that vary between products, a safe and effective dose has not been reliably determined in modern research.If a product is used at all, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

From our Fever Bark monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

About Omeprazole

What Is Omeprazole Used For?

Brand names: Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec

Omeprazole is used to treat a range of conditions where stomach acid causes problems. These include heartburn and acid reflux (GERD), erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from acid), and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It can also be used alongside antibiotics to help get rid of an H. pylori infection — a bacteria that causes ulcers.

In more serious cases, omeprazole is used to manage conditions where the stomach produces far too much acid, such as pathologic hypersecretory conditions (rare medical disorders that cause extreme acid overproduction). It is approved for adults and children one year of age and older for GERD and erosive esophagitis.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Omeprazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (448,293 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Chronic kidney disease 36,807 reports
Nausea 27,095 reports

Taking Fever Bark and Omeprazole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Fever Bark with Omeprazole?
We do not list a known interaction between Fever Bark and Omeprazole. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Fever Bark and Omeprazole have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 6 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Fever Bark and Omeprazole combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Omeprazole is filed under 10 classifications, and Fever Bark has documented interactions with 9 drug classes — none of Omeprazole's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Fever Bark interact with any other medications?
Yes. Fever Bark has 801 documented drug interactions in our database — Omeprazole is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Omeprazole interact with any supplements?
Yes. Omeprazole has documented interactions with 174 supplements in our database — Fever Bark is not one of them. The Omeprazole interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
