The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Fringetree and Lioresal 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.

Fringetree and Lioresal

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 Lioresal and Fringetree 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 Fringetree at all — not against Lioresal, 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.

Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • A bowel blockage Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lioresal. Read the label on DailyMed › Fringetree’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Fringetree side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Fringetree has no side effects.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Lioresal

This page covers Fringetree only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Lioresal page lists 10 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Procaine (major), Biofeedback (moderate), Dendrobium (moderate), Ginkgo (moderate) and Lithium (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 9 moderate.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lioresal page

“Lioresal is baclofen, a muscle relaxant prescribed for spasticity, and I would treat its supplement list with genuine care. Of the ten ingredients on file, six, including everyday picks like melatonin and ginkgo, may lower the seizure threshold, an added worry with a drug whose abrupt changes can already provoke seizures.”

About Fringetree

What is Fringetree?

  • Liver and gallbladder support
  • Digestive complaints
  • Jaundice
  • Gallstones
  • Bitter tonic

Fringetree is a North American shrub whose root and stem bark have long been used in traditional herbal medicine, mainly for liver, gallbladder, and digestive complaints. There is very little modern human research to confirm any of these uses, so its benefits remain unproven and its safety is not well established. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Chionanthus virginicus · Oleaceae · Dried root and stem bark · Tincture, liquid extract, capsules, dried bark for decoction

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

Fringetree: dosing

There is no established, standardized dose for fringetree. Traditional sources used the tincture or a decoction of the bark, but reliable modern dosing guidelines do not exist.If you choose to use a fringetree product, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them.

About Baclofen

What Is Baclofen Used For?

Brand name: Lioresal Injection

Baclofen treats spasticity, which means stiff, tight muscles with spasms. Oral baclofen (tablets, Baclofen oral solution, Ozobax, Baclofen oral suspension, Fleqsuvy, Lyvispah) is used for spasticity from multiple sclerosis, especially flexor spasms with pain, clonus (rhythmic jerking) and muscle rigidity. It may also help some people with spinal cord injuries and other spinal cord diseases.

Intrathecal baclofen (Gablofen, Lioresal Intrathecal and other baclofen injections) is used for severe spasticity. It is given into the fluid around the spinal cord, usually through an implanted pump. It is not for skeletal muscle spasm from rheumatic disorders, and baclofen tablets are not recommended for stroke, cerebral palsy or Parkinson’s disease.
