No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Gamma-oryzanol and Canagliflozin 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.

Gamma-oryzanol and Canagliflozin

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 Canagliflozin and Gamma-oryzanol 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 Gamma-oryzanol at all — not against Canagliflozin, 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.

Gamma-oryzanol safety at a glance

Gamma-oryzanol overall Use caution Generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety is not well established.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data, so avoid while breastfeeding.

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

What Canagliflozin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Gamma-oryzanol. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Canagliflozin’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 take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on mentioned in 4.2% of FDA reports for Canagliflozin
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on mentioned in 6.6% of FDA reports for Canagliflozin
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 26 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 Canagliflozin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 31,055 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Canagliflozin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Gamma-oryzanol’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Gamma-oryzanol side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Gamma-oryzanol has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Canagliflozin page

“Canagliflozin (Invokana) lowers blood sugar, and that is precisely why this list deserves genuine care. Nearly every ingredient on it works on glucose one way or another: most can push it too low when stacked with the drug, while a few, niacin among them, raise it and work against the medicine.”

About Gamma-oryzanol

What is Gamma-oryzanol?

  • High cholesterol
  • Menopausal symptoms
  • Athletic performance and muscle building
  • Mild anxiety
  • Skin protection (topical)

Gamma-oryzanol is a mix of plant compounds taken from rice bran oil, used mainly for cholesterol, menopause symptoms, and as a sports supplement. The evidence is limited and mostly comes from small or older studies, so benefits are not well proven. It appears generally well tolerated, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Poaceae · Rice bran oil (derived from Oryza sativa bran) · Capsules, tablets, powder, topical creams

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

Gamma-oryzanol: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose for gamma-oryzanol. Doses used in research have varied widely, and what works for one use may not apply to another.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not take more than recommended.
