Drug & supplement interaction

Irvingia Gabonensis + Solriamfetol

Solriamfetol brand name: Sunosi.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Irvingia Gabonensis and Solriamfetol 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 Solriamfetol

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 Solriamfetol 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 Solriamfetol

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

Reported for Irvingia Gabonensis but not commonly for Solriamfetol: bloating or gas, liver problems, yellowing of the skin or eyes and tiredness.

Effects for Solriamfetol 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 3,694 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Solriamfetol 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Solriamfetol page

“Solriamfetol (Sunosi) promotes wakefulness in people with narcolepsy or sleep apnea by acting, in part, like a stimulant, and that is exactly why this page deserves careful attention rather than a quick skim. The great majority of the 61 interacting ingredients are stimulants themselves, so adding them can push blood pressure and heart…”

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.

Irvingia gabonensis · Irvingiaceae · Seed (kernel, also called dika nut); seed extract · Capsules, tablets, powder, standardized seed extract

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

Irvingia Gabonensis: dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose for Irvingia gabonensis. Studies have used different seed extracts and amounts, so it is hard to recommend one specific dose.If you choose to try it, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them.

About Solriamfetol

What Is Solriamfetol Used For?

Brand name: Sunosi

Sunosi (solriamfetol) is approved to improve wakefulness in adults who experience excessive daytime sleepiness caused by narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Important: Sunosi does not treat the airway obstruction that causes OSA. If you have OSA, you must continue your existing treatment — such as CPAP (a breathing machine worn at night) — throughout your time on Sunosi. Sunosi is not a replacement for those therapies.

Taking Irvingia Gabonensis and Solriamfetol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Irvingia Gabonensis with Solriamfetol?
We do not list a known interaction between Irvingia Gabonensis and Solriamfetol. 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 Irvingia Gabonensis and Solriamfetol have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 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 Irvingia Gabonensis and Solriamfetol combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Solriamfetol is filed under 2 classifications, and Irvingia Gabonensis has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Solriamfetol'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 Irvingia Gabonensis interact with any other medications?
Yes. Irvingia Gabonensis has 94 documented drug interactions in our database — Solriamfetol 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 Solriamfetol interact with any supplements?
Yes. Solriamfetol has documented interactions with 61 supplements in our database — Irvingia Gabonensis is not one of them. The Solriamfetol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
