Drug & supplement interaction

Ipriflavone + Dofetilide

Dofetilide brand name: Tikosyn.

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 Ipriflavone and Dofetilide 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.

Ipriflavone and Dofetilide

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 Dofetilide and Ipriflavone 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.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dofetilide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dofetilide is filed under 3 classifications — qt interval-prolonging drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Ipriflavone has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (moderate), cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates (moderate) and immunosuppressants (moderate) — and none of Dofetilide’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Ipriflavone and Dofetilide 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.

    “Orally, ipriflavone is generally well-tolerated. However, some patients taking ipriflavone can experience epigastric pain, diarrhea, and dizziness. There is some concern that ipriflavone can cause lymphocytopenia when used for at least 6 months.”

Effects for Dofetilide come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Ipriflavone come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 10,450 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dofetilide 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.

About Ipriflavone

What is Ipriflavone?

Ipriflavone
  • Bone density and osteoporosis
  • Postmenopausal bone loss
  • Athletic performance
  • Tinnitus related to bone disorders

Ipriflavone is a synthetic isoflavone studied mainly for bone health and osteoporosis, but high-quality research has not shown that it reliably prevents fractures or builds strong bone. Because it can lower white blood cell counts in some people and its long-term safety is not well established, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Synthetic compound (a semi-synthetic isoflavone derived from soy isoflavones) · Tablets, capsules

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

Ipriflavone: dosing

There is no officially established or universally agreed dietary supplement dose for ipriflavone. Doses used in research were studied for osteoporosis and are not a recommendation for general use.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. People considering it for bone health should also discuss adequate calcium and vitamin D intake.

About Dofetilide

What Is Dofetilide Used For?

Brand name: Tikosyn

Dofetilide capsules are used in two main ways for people with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFl) — abnormal, often rapid heart rhythms. First, they can help convert these abnormal rhythms back to a normal heart rhythm. Second, once a normal rhythm has been restored, dofetilide can help maintain it and delay the time before the abnormal rhythm comes back.

Because dofetilide can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems of its own, it is reserved for patients whose atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter causes significant symptoms. It has not been shown to be effective for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (short, self-terminating episodes). The brand Tikosyn carries the same two approved uses.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Dofetilide

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (10,450 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Atrial fibrillation 1,066 reports
Dyspnea 612 reports
Dizziness 559 reports
Fatigue 531 reports

Taking Ipriflavone and Dofetilide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Ipriflavone with Dofetilide?
We do not list a known interaction between Ipriflavone and Dofetilide. 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 Ipriflavone and Dofetilide have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 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 Ipriflavone and Dofetilide combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Dofetilide is filed under 3 classifications, and Ipriflavone has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Dofetilide'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 Ipriflavone interact with any other medications?
Yes. Ipriflavone has 391 documented drug interactions in our database — Dofetilide 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 Dofetilide interact with any supplements?
Yes. Dofetilide has documented interactions with 146 supplements in our database — Ipriflavone is not one of them. The Dofetilide interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
