Interaction report

Hesperidin and Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Hesperidin interacts with whole categories of medication. Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Hesperidin in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CNS DEPRESSANTS

1 of 2

Why this applies to Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate

Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate falls under CNS DEPRESSANTS — the group Hesperidin interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use with CNS depressants may cause additive sedative effects.
Animal studies show that hesperidin has sedative effects, due to opioid receptor activity and can increase sedation when used with diazepam. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

This combination pill already packs two ingredients that calm the brain: carisoprodol (a muscle relaxer) and codeine (an opioid pain reliever). Both can leave you drowsy, foggy, or slowed down. The concern with hesperidin is that lab and animal studies suggest it may have mild sedative activity of its own, partly by acting on opioid receptors. In theory, layering it on top could add to that sleepiness.

Honestly, this is a theoretical worry. It has only been seen in animals, not reported in people, and citrus fruit amounts are very unlikely to matter. Concentrated supplement doses are the bigger question mark. If you notice extra grogginess, dizziness, or slowed breathing, that's worth a call to your pharmacist or doctor before changing anything.

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

2 of 2

Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate also falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS.

Theoretically, hesperidin may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that hesperetin, a bioflavonoid aglycone derivative of hesperidin, may have antiplatelet activity.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

This combo product contains aspirin, which thins your blood by keeping platelets from clumping together. Hesperidin, a citrus flavonoid, may have a mild blood-thinning effect of its own. So in theory, taking the two together could add up and slightly raise your chance of bruising or bleeding (think nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or stomach upset that aspirin can already cause).

Here's the honest part: this concern comes from animal and lab research only, not from real cases in people, so the risk is more theoretical than proven. Small amounts of citrus in your diet are very unlikely to matter; concentrated supplements are the bigger question. Before adding a hesperidin supplement, just check with your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you bruise easily or notice any unusual bleeding.

About Hesperidin

What is Hesperidin?

Hesperidin
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Varicose veins and poor circulation
  • Leg swelling (venous insufficiency)
  • High blood pressure
  • Antioxidant support

Hesperidin is a flavonoid found in citrus fruits that is often combined with diosmin and used for vein and circulation problems like hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Some evidence supports these uses, but data for many other claims is limited. It is generally well tolerated, but pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it because safety has not been established.
