Kirlian Photography and Pimozide

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 Pimozide and Kirlian Photography 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 Kirlian Photography at all — not against Pimozide, 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.

What Pimozide’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Kirlian Photography. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pimozide’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Weight gain mentioned in 8.0% of FDA reports for Pimozide
  • Joint or muscle stiffness

Showing the 10 most notable of 35 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Pimozide. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 464 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pimozide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Kirlian Photography’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Kirlian Photography side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Kirlian Photography has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pimozide page

“Pimozide (Orap), prescribed mainly for severe tics in Tourette syndrome, is a medicine I ask patients to check every supplement against before adding it. Twelve of the 180 ingredients on file rate major, and most of the risk runs through one pathway: 121 of them affect CYP3A4, the enzyme that clears pimozide.”

About Kirlian Photography

What is Kirlian Photography?

  • Claimed 'aura' or energy imaging
  • Alternative wellness assessment
  • Stress or 'energy' readings
  • Spiritual or holistic exploration

Kirlian photography is not a dietary supplement or herb — it is a photographic technique that captures a glowing 'corona' around objects placed in a high-voltage electric field. The colorful 'aura' images it produces are caused by ordinary physical factors like moisture, pressure, and electrical conductivity, and there is no scientific evidence that it can diagnose disease or measure a person's health or 'energy.'

Photographic technique (high-voltage electrophotography)

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

Kirlian Photography: dosing

There is no dose for Kirlian photography because it is not a supplement, herb, or medicine — nothing is swallowed or absorbed. There is no recommended frequency or 'amount.'If you are considering a Kirlian or 'aura' imaging session for curiosity or personal interest, treat it as entertainment rather than a health test, and do not let any result change your medical decisions.
