Drug & supplement interaction

Irvingia Gabonensis + Daprodustat

Daprodustat brand name: Jesduvroq.

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 Irvingia Gabonensis and Daprodustat 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

Irvingia Gabonensis and Daprodustat

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 Daprodustat and Irvingia Gabonensis 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 Daprodustat

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Daprodustat is filed under 2 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c8 (cyp2c8) substrates, oral drugs. Irvingia Gabonensis has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) and testosterone (moderate) — and none of Daprodustat’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 Irvingia Gabonensis and Daprodustat 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.

  • Stomach upset Additional detail

    Irvingia Gabonensis

    “One case of acute hepatitis secondary to Irvingia gabonensis has been reported. A 45-year old male with a ten-day history of Irvingia gabonensis supplementation, at a dose of 350 mg of seed extract twice daily for body fat reduction, was admitted with jaundice, abdominal discomfort, and new onset malaise. His complaints began four days after starting Irvingia gabonensis supplementation.”

    Daprodustat

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Daprodustat. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Irvingia Gabonensis but not commonly for Daprodustat: bloating or gas, liver problems, headache and trouble sleeping.

Effects for Daprodustat come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Irvingia Gabonensis come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,756 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Daprodustat 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.

“People taking daprodustat (Jesduvroq) for anemia from chronic kidney disease are often the same people using fiber for constipation or CBD for sleep, and this interaction list deserves genuine care. Of the 28 supplement ingredients on file, eleven may block CYP2C8, the enzyme that clears daprodustat, which could raise its levels beyond…”

About Irvingia Gabonensis

What is Irvingia Gabonensis?

Irvingia Gabonensis
  • Weight loss
  • Appetite control
  • Cholesterol support
  • Blood sugar support
  • Metabolism support

Irvingia gabonensis (African mango) is a seed extract marketed mainly for weight loss and metabolic health. A few small studies suggest possible benefits, but the research is limited and low-quality, so the true effect is uncertain. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and do not rely on it in place of proven diet and lifestyle changes.
