Graviola and Tolazamide

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 Tolazamide and Graviola 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Tolazamide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Tolazamide is filed under 3 classifications — antidiabetes drugs, photosensitizing drugs, oral drugs. Graviola has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being carbamazepine (tegretol) (moderate) — and none of Tolazamide’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.

What to actually watch for

What Graviola Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Tolazamide. It is the side-effect record for Graviola on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Graviola, this list is the first place to look.

  • Nausea Additional detail

    “In one clinical study, some patients reported nausea and burning pain in the epigastrium after taking graviola leaf extract 300 mg daily.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Graviola — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We haven’t matched Tolazamide to its FDA label in our system yet, so we can’t compare its own side-effect list here — the leaflet that comes with your prescription is the authoritative list for Tolazamide.

Overlapping uses

What Tolazamide Is Prescribed For, and What Graviola Has Been Studied For

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

Graviola has been studied for:

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

    Graviola for diabetes

    Although there has been interest in using oral graviola for diabetes, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of graviola for this purpose.

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 Tolazamide on your own; if you are taking Graviola for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tolazamide page

“Tolazamide (Tolinase) lowers blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, and I would handle its supplement list with care, because nearly everything listed can drag blood sugar lower still. Herbs and foods with glucose-lowering effects dominate the file, and stacked on a pill that already lowers glucose they raise the odds of hypoglycemia, blood s…”

About Graviola

What is Graviola?

  • Cancer support (unproven)
  • Infections
  • Inflammation
  • High blood pressure
  • Digestive complaints
  • Diabetes

Graviola (soursop) is a tropical fruit tree whose leaves, fruit, and bark are used in traditional medicine, especially in parts of South America, Africa, and Asia. Despite popular online claims that it fights cancer, there is no reliable human evidence that it treats or cures any disease, and animal research raises concerns that it may harm nerve cells. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Annona muricata · Annonaceae · Leaves, fruit, bark, seeds, and roots · Tea, capsules, tinctures, fruit pulp, and juice

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

Graviola: dosing

There is no established or standardized safe dose of graviola. Products vary widely in strength and in which plant part they contain.If you choose to use a graviola product, follow the directions on the label, do not exceed the recommended amount, and avoid long-term daily use.

About Tolazamide

What Is Tolazamide Used For?

Brand name: Tolinase

  • Tolazamide is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Tolazamide is in a class of medications called sulfonylureas. Tolazamide lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally. Tolazamide is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated).

  • Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems. Taking medication(s), making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.

Taking Graviola and Tolazamide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Graviola with Tolazamide?
We do not list a known interaction between Graviola and Tolazamide. 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.
Are Graviola and Tolazamide 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 Graviola in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Tolazamide is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Graviola and Tolazamide combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Tolazamide is filed under 3 classifications, and Graviola has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Tolazamide'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 Graviola interact with any other medications?
Yes. Graviola has 1 documented drug interaction in our database — Tolazamide 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 Tolazamide interact with any supplements?
Yes. Tolazamide has documented interactions with 272 supplements in our database — Graviola is not one of them. The Tolazamide interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
