Haronga and Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan

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 Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan 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 Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan, 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 Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan’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 Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan’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.

  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on mentioned in 12.7% of FDA reports for Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 48 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 Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 17,095 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Hydrochlorothiazide, Valsartan 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.

“Diovan HCT pairs valsartan with the water pill hydrochlorothiazide to bring blood pressure down, and the 273 supplements listed here deserve genuine care, ten of them rated major. Most of the moderate entries either drop blood pressure further than intended or blunt the medication, and a second large group compounds the diuretic action…”

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.
