Jackfruit and Fesoterodine Fumarate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CNS DEPRESSANTS

Why this applies to Fesoterodine Fumarate

Fesoterodine Fumarate falls under CNS DEPRESSANTS — the group Jackfruit interacts with.

Theoretically, jackfruit seeds might cause additive sedation when taken with CNS depressants.
Animal research shows that jackfruit seeds can cause sedation.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the short version: eating jackfruit as a regular fruit alongside your Toviaz (fesoterodine) is very unlikely to cause a problem. The concern on file is only theoretical and comes from animal studies where concentrated jackfruit seed extract seemed to have a calming, sedative effect. There's no solid human evidence behind it.

The idea is that if jackfruit seeds add a little drowsiness, and fesoterodine itself can sometimes cause sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or blurred vision, the two together might leave you feeling a bit more tired or foggy. That said, this is a mild, possible interaction, not a dangerous one. If you're using a concentrated jackfruit seed supplement and notice extra grogginess, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

About Jackfruit

What is Jackfruit?

Jackfruit
  • General nutrition
  • Blood sugar support
  • Digestive health (fiber)
  • Antioxidant support
  • Wound care (traditional, latex/leaves)

Jackfruit is a large tropical fruit that is nutritious and safe to eat as a food, offering fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. While its leaves, seeds, and other parts are used in traditional medicine for things like blood sugar and digestion, strong human evidence for these supplement uses is limited. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated jackfruit products for a health condition.

About Fesoterodine

What Is Fesoterodine Used For?

Brand name: Toviaz

Fesoterodine treats overactive bladder (OAB) in adults. That means symptoms like urge urinary incontinence (leaking with a sudden urge), urgency, and frequency.

Some products are also approved for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children 6 years and older who weigh more than 25 kg. This use is listed for Toviaz and for one fesoterodine fumarate film-coated extended-release tablet label. The other fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablet label covers adult OAB only.
