Drug & supplement interaction

Hydrazine Sulfate + Nivolumab

Nivolumab brand name: Opdivo.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab 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 label for Nivolumab states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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.

Interaction report

Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab

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 Nivolumab and Hydrazine Sulfate 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 Nivolumab

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Nivolumab is filed under a single classification — antineoplastics. Hydrazine Sulfate has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate), isoniazid (moderate) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois) (moderate) — and none of Nivolumab’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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

How to take them

Some Nivolumab Products Have a Food Rule — Hydrazine Sulfate Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Nivolumab says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Hydrazine Sulfate included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Nivolumab on its own and move Hydrazine Sulfate to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Nivolumab products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

Table 2: Recommended Dosages of Intravenous OPDIVO in Combination with Other Therapeutic Agents Indication Recommended OPDIVO Dosage Duration of Therapy Unresectable or metastatic melanoma 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks with ipilimumab 3 mg/kg In combination with ipilimumab for a maximum of 4 doses or until unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs earlier Adult patients and pediatric patients aged 12 years

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Nivolumab — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Overlapping uses

What Nivolumab Is Prescribed For, and What Hydrazine Sulfate Has Been Studied For

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

Nivolumab is prescribed for: Opdivo (nivolumab) is used to treat many types of cancer in adults, and some in patients 12 years and older. It can be used alone or in combination with other therapies depending on the cancer type and stage. Cancers it treats include melanoma (including after surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back), non-small cell lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), classical Hodgkin lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer), colorectal cancer with specific genetic features (MSI-H or dMMR), hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), esophageal cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and gastric (stomach) cancer. Some uses require the tumor to test positive for a protein called PD-L1, and some are specific to certain stages of disease or prior treatments received.

Read the rest of what Nivolumab is prescribed for

Your oncologist will determine which use applies to your situation.

Hydrazine Sulfate has been studied for:

  • Lung cancer studied, not established Hydrazine Sulfate has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Likely Ineffective Read what the research shows

    Hydrazine Sulfate for lung cancer

    Taking hydrazine sulfate as an adjunct to chemotherapy is not beneficial for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in most patients.

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

    Hydrazine Sulfate for colorectal cancer

    It is unclear if oral hydrazine sulfate is beneficial in patients with colorectal cancer.

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

    Hydrazine Sulfate for hodgkin lymphoma

    Although there has been interest in using oral hydrazine sulfate for Hodgkin lymphoma, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of hydrazine sulfate 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 Nivolumab on your own; if you are taking Hydrazine Sulfate for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

This page covers Hydrazine Sulfate only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Nivolumab page lists 1 supplement it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: American Pawpaw (minor).

By severity: 1 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Nivolumab page

“Nivolumab (Opdivo) is an immunotherapy infusion that trains the body's own immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, the kind of drug you might expect to carry a long list of supplement warnings. It does not.”

About Hydrazine Sulfate

What is Hydrazine Sulfate?

  • Cancer-related weight loss (cachexia)
  • Cancer treatment (unproven)
  • Appetite stimulation
  • Improving quality of life in advanced illness

Hydrazine sulfate is a synthetic industrial chemical that was promoted as an alternative cancer treatment, but well-designed clinical trials found it does not help people with cancer live longer or feel better. It carries real risks, including serious nerve and liver toxicity, and is not approved or recommended for any medical use. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it.

Not applicable (synthetic industrial chemical) · Capsules, tablets, oral solution, and injectable forms (not legally available as a supplement in the U.S.)

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

Hydrazine Sulfate: dosing

There is no safe or recommended dose of hydrazine sulfate, and it is not approved for medical use. Because it is not a legitimate supplement, no standardized, evidence-based dosing exists.We do not recommend taking it at all.

Taking Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Hydrazine Sulfate with Nivolumab?
We do not list a known interaction between Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab. 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 Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 10 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.
Should I take Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Nivolumab says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Nivolumab on its own and move Hydrazine Sulfate to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Are Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab 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 Hydrazine Sulfate in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Nivolumab is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Hydrazine Sulfate and Nivolumab combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Nivolumab is filed under 1 classification, and Hydrazine Sulfate has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Nivolumab'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 Hydrazine Sulfate interact with any other medications?
Yes. Hydrazine Sulfate has 98 documented drug interactions in our database — Nivolumab 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 Nivolumab interact with any supplements?
Yes. Nivolumab has documented interactions with 1 supplement in our database — Hydrazine Sulfate is not one of them. The Nivolumab interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
