Drug & supplement interaction

Goji + Meclazine

Meclazine brand name: Bonine.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Goji and Meclazine 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.

Goji and Meclazine

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 Meclazine and Goji 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.

Goji safety at a glance

Goji overall Use caution Generally safe as a food, but concentrated supplements have less safety data.
Pregnancy Avoid Avoid medicinal amounts during pregnancy due to limited safety data and traditional reports of uterine effects.
Breastfeeding Use caution Not enough reliable data on supplement use while breastfeeding, so caution is advised.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Meclazine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Meclazine is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. Goji has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — the most serious being warfarin (coumadin) (major), antihypertensive drugs (moderate) and cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) substrates (moderate) — and none of Meclazine’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

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Goji and Meclazine May Share a Side Effect

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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    Goji

    “Several cases of allergic reactions secondary to consumption of goji berries have been reported. Symptoms included facial angioedema with dyspnea, pharyngeal itching, itching in the mouth, ears, and axilla, labial angioedema, and perioral skin rash. Anaphylaxis has also been reported.”

    Meclazine

Reported for Goji but not commonly for Meclazine: an allergic reaction, liver problems, a skin rash and shortness of breath.

Effects for Meclazine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Goji come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

About Goji

What is Goji?

Goji
  • General antioxidant support
  • Eye health
  • Immune support
  • Anti-aging and well-being
  • Blood sugar support

Goji berries are a nutritious fruit rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and plant polysaccharides, and they are safe for most people as a food. While they are popular for eye health, immune support, and general wellness, strong human evidence for most health claims is limited. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated goji supplements, especially if you take medications or are pregnant.

Lycium barbarum · Solanaceae · Fruit (berries); root bark and leaves are also used in traditional medicine · Dried berries, juice, capsules, powders, teas, extracts

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

Goji: dosing

There is no official or proven standard dose for goji. Amounts used in studies and products vary widely depending on whether you use dried berries, juice, or an extract.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount. They can help you choose a reputable product and make sure it fits with your other medicines and health conditions.

Taking Goji and Meclazine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Goji with Meclazine?
We do not list a known interaction between Goji and Meclazine. 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 Goji and Meclazine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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 Goji and Meclazine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Meclazine is filed under 1 classification, and Goji has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — none of Meclazine'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 Goji interact with any other medications?
Yes. Goji has 1,000 documented drug interactions in our database — Meclazine 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 Meclazine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Meclazine has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Goji is not one of them. The Meclazine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
