Drug & supplement interaction

Iboga + Terconazole

Terconazole brand name: Terazole.

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 Iboga and Terconazole 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 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

Iboga and Terconazole

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 Terconazole and Iboga 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.

Iboga safety at a glance

Iboga overall Avoid Iboga can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems and has been linked to deaths.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; the risks make it unsafe during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No safety data; avoid while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Terconazole

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Terconazole is filed under 2 classifications — antifungals, oral drugs. Iboga has documented interactions with 6 drug classes — the most serious being paroxetine (paxil) (major), anticholinergic drugs (moderate) and cholinergic drugs (moderate) — and none of Terconazole’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 Iboga and Terconazole May Share a Side Effect

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.

  • Headache reported in 5.5% of FDA reports for Terconazole Additional detail

    Iboga

    “Ibogaine, a constituent of iboga, taken orally in doses ranging from 10-32 mg/kg may cause confusion, dizziness, dream-like states, hallucinations, and headaches. Ibogaine in doses up to 25 mg/kg has been associated with cases of extreme sensitivity to color and sound, sweating, cold sensations, increased energy and appetite, insomnia, and a strong aphrodisiac effect.”

    Terconazole

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Terconazole, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Iboga but not commonly for Terconazole: an irregular heartbeat, seizures, hallucinations and low potassium.

Effects for Terconazole come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Iboga come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 805 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Terconazole that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Terconazole

This page covers Iboga only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Terconazole page lists 20 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 12 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Terconazole page

“Terconazole (Terazole) is a vaginal antifungal for yeast infections, and its supplement list earns genuine caution because of one standout: activated charcoal, the only major-rated interaction among the 20 on file. Charcoal binds many medicines and can lower their levels even when a drug is not taken by mouth, which makes it the entry…”

About Iboga

What is Iboga?

Iboga
  • Drug and alcohol addiction
  • Opioid withdrawal
  • Spiritual and ceremonial rituals
  • Fatigue and stimulant effects
  • Mood and emotional issues

Iboga is a Central African shrub whose root bark contains ibogaine, a powerful hallucinogenic compound studied mainly for addiction. It carries serious safety risks, including dangerous heart rhythm changes and deaths, and ibogaine is illegal in the United States and many other countries. We do not recommend its use outside of tightly controlled research settings.

Tabernanthe iboga · Apocynaceae · Root bark · Root bark powder, capsules, extracts; the isolated alkaloid ibogaine (a controlled substance in many countries)

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

Iboga: dosing

There is no established safe or standard dose of Iboga or ibogaine for any condition. Because the compound is unpredictable and can harm the heart, doses cannot be recommended here.Ibogaine is a controlled substance in the United States, so it cannot be legally bought or used as a supplement. Do not attempt to dose yourself with Iboga.

About Terconazole

What Is Terconazole Used For?

Brand name: Terazole

Terconazole vaginal cream and vaginal suppositories are both indicated for the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis — commonly known as a vaginal yeast infection caused by Candida species. Because these products only work against Candida, a healthcare provider should confirm the diagnosis before or during treatment.

Before starting a second course of treatment with terconazole vaginal suppositories, the diagnosis should be re-confirmed by lab tests and other possible causes of symptoms should be ruled out.

Taking Iboga and Terconazole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Iboga with Terconazole?
We do not list a known interaction between Iboga and Terconazole. 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 Iboga and Terconazole have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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.
How was the Iboga and Terconazole combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Terconazole is filed under 2 classifications, and Iboga has documented interactions with 6 drug classes — none of Terconazole'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 Iboga interact with any other medications?
Yes. Iboga has 502 documented drug interactions in our database — Terconazole 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 Terconazole interact with any supplements?
Yes. Terconazole has documented interactions with 20 supplements in our database — Iboga is not one of them. The Terconazole interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
