Drug & supplement interaction

Fever Bark + Tadalafil

Tadalafil brand names: Cialis, Tadliq.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Fever Bark and Tadalafil 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.

Interaction report

Fever Bark and Tadalafil

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 Tadalafil 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 Tadalafil

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Tadalafil is filed under 5 classifications — including phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, vasodilators, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. 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 Tadalafil’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.

Keep it in perspective

Fever Bark Does Interact With Other Medications

Fever Bark has 40 major, 674 moderate, 87 minor known drug interactions in our database — Tadalafil isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Fever Bark and Tadalafil 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.

Tadalafil

Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Tadalafil, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Fever Bark but not commonly for Tadalafil: an allergic reaction, heart failure, anxiety or restlessness and mood changes or irritability.

Effects for Tadalafil 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 98,103 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Tadalafil 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.

Overlapping uses

What Tadalafil Is Prescribed For, and What Fever Bark Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Tadalafil is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Fever Bark is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Tadalafil is prescribed for: Tadalafil tablets (including Cialis and generic tadalafil) are used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH — an enlarged prostate), or both conditions together. When used with the drug finasteride to start BPH treatment, this combination is recommended for up to 26 weeks. Adcirca, Alyq (tablets), and Tadliq (oral suspension) are indicated specifically for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH — high blood pressure in the lungs), to improve the ability to exercise.

Fever Bark has been studied for:

Hypertension studied, not established Fever Bark has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

Fever Bark for hypertension

Although there is interest in using oral fever bark for hypertension, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of fever bark for this condition.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Tadalafil on your own; if you are taking Fever Bark for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Tadalafil

This page covers Fever Bark only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Tadalafil page lists 144 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Mistletoe (major), Grapefruit (major), Hawthorn (major) and St. John's Wort (major).

By severity: 5 major · 98 moderate · 41 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tadalafil page

“Grapefruit juice is the first thing to know about if you take tadalafil (Cialis, Tadliq). It blocks CYP3A4, the enzyme that clears the drug, so blood levels climb and side effects like a steep drop in blood pressure become more likely.”

About Fever Bark

What is 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.

Taking Fever Bark and Tadalafil Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Fever Bark with Tadalafil?

We do not list a known interaction between Fever Bark and Tadalafil. 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 Tadalafil have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 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.

Are Fever Bark and Tadalafil used for the same thing?

They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Fever Bark in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Tadalafil is being adjusted to a target.

How was the Fever Bark and Tadalafil combination checked?
