Interaction report

Indole-3-carbinol and Rabies Immune Globulin

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 Rabies Immune Globulin and Indole-3-carbinol 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.

Indole-3-carbinol safety at a glance

Indole-3-carbinol overall Use caution Likely fine in food amounts, but supplement doses are less studied and should be used cautiously.

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

What to actually watch for

What Indole-3-carbinol Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Rabies Immune Globulin. It is the side-effect record for Indole-3-carbinol on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Indole-3-carbinol, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Indole-3-carbinol has been associated with reports of unsteadiness and imbalance, especially at higher doses. An adult male taking 400 mg twice daily for treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis developed imbalance and tremor after 10 days of treatment. This resolved when the dose was halved.”

About Indole-3-carbinol

What is Indole-3-carbinol?

  • Estrogen and hormone balance support
  • Breast and cervical health
  • Prostate health
  • Antioxidant and 'detox' support
  • General cancer-prevention interest

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a compound formed when you eat cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage, and it is sold as a supplement mainly for hormone-related and cell-protective effects. Most human evidence is preliminary or comes from lab and animal studies, so it should not be relied on to prevent or treat any disease. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Brassicaceae · Derived from glucosinolates found in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower) · Capsules, tablets, softgels; sometimes combined with or compared to diindolylmethane (DIM)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Indole-3-carbinol is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Indole-3-carbinol record says about it on its own.

Indole-3-carbinol: dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose for I3C. Different products and studies have used different amounts, and there is no agreed-upon 'best' dose.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them. They can help you decide whether I3C is appropriate for you.
