Jaborandi + Tofacitinib
Tofacitinib brand names: Xeljanz, Xeljanz XR.
We found no known interaction between Jaborandi and Tofacitinib 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.
Jaborandi and Tofacitinib
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 Tofacitinib and Jaborandi 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.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Jaborandi at all — not against Tofacitinib, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tofacitinib page
“Supplements deserve genuine care alongside tofacitinib (Xeljanz, Xeljanz XR), a medicine that deliberately dials down the immune system to control conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Most of the interactions on this page run through the liver enzymes that clear the drug, meaning an herb can push its blood level…”

About Jaborandi
What is Jaborandi?
- Dry mouth (xerostomia)
- Glaucoma and high eye pressure
- Promoting sweating
- Increasing saliva production
- Traditional remedy for various ailments
Jaborandi is a South American plant best known as the natural source of pilocarpine, a drug used in modern medicine for glaucoma and dry mouth. The raw herb is potent and potentially toxic, so it is not something to use casually as a home remedy. If you need its effects, use the FDA-approved pilocarpine products prescribed by your doctor rather than the crude plant.
Pilocarpus microphyllus · Rutaceae · Leaves · Standardized pharmaceutical extract (pilocarpine), eye drops, tablets, and historically as a tea or tincture
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Jaborandi is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Jaborandi record says about it on its own.
Jaborandi: dosing
There is no established safe dose for the crude Jaborandi herb, and we do not recommend self-dosing with the raw plant because its potency is unpredictable and it can be toxic.The purified drug pilocarpine is a different story — it comes in carefully measured tablets and eye drops with doses set by a doctor.
