The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Haronga and Eplerenone 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.

Haronga and Eplerenone

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 Eplerenone and Haronga 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 Haronga at all — not against Eplerenone, 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.

What Eplerenone’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Haronga. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Eplerenone’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Heart failure Worth acting on mentioned in 7.6% of FDA reports for Eplerenone
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on mentioned in 7.4% of FDA reports for Eplerenone
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • Breast tenderness
  • Dizziness mentioned in 5.3% of FDA reports for Eplerenone

Showing the 10 most notable of 13 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 Eplerenone. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 12,732 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Eplerenone that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Haronga’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Haronga side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Haronga has no side effects.

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Haronga is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Haronga reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Haronga and Eplerenone records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Haronga

What is Haronga?

  • Indigestion and dyspepsia
  • Loss of appetite
  • Digestive complaints
  • Diarrhea (traditional use)
  • Wound healing (traditional, topical)

Haronga (Harungana madagascariensis) is an African tree whose bark and leaves have been used traditionally and in some European products for indigestion and digestive complaints. Evidence for its benefits is very limited, and safety information is sparse, so it should be used with caution and under the guidance of a pharmacist or doctor.

Harungana madagascariensis · Hypericaceae · Bark and leaves · Capsules, tablets, dried bark, tea, liquid extracts

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

Haronga: dosing

There is no well-established standardized dose for Haronga. Amounts vary between products and traditional preparations.If you use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Eplerenone

What Is Eplerenone Used For?

Second, eplerenone is used to improve survival in stable adults who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) — meaning the heart pumps less blood than normal — following an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Most-Reported Side Effects for Eplerenone

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (12,732 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
