The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Koch's Glycoside and Insulin (rDNA) 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 label for Insulin (rDNA) states a food rule worth keeping to.

Koch's Glycoside and Insulin (rDNA)

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 Insulin (rDNA) and Koch's Glycoside 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 Koch's Glycoside at all — not against Insulin (rDNA), 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 Insulin (rDNA)’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Koch's Glycoside. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Insulin (rDNA)’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.

  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Weight gain
  • Sweating

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Insulin (rDNA). Read the label on DailyMed › Koch's Glycoside’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Koch's Glycoside side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Koch's Glycoside has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Insulin (rDNA) Products Have a Food Rule — Koch's Glycoside Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Insulin (rDNA) says to take it with food. If you take Koch's Glycoside on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Insulin (rDNA) with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Insulin (rDNA) products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) Subcutaneous injection ( 2.2 ): Administer HUMALOG ® U-100 or U-200 by subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks within 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Insulin (rDNA) — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Insulin (rDNA)

This page covers Koch's Glycoside only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Insulin (rDNA) page lists 242 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Chelation Therapy Products (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Acai (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate) and Agaricus Mushroom (moderate).

By severity: 2 major · 211 moderate · 29 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Insulin (rDNA) page

“A weed called Siberian cocklebur has caused severe low blood sugar in humans and is the one ingredient to avoid outright while using insulin (rDNA) products like Humalog or Humulin. This list deserves real respect.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Koch's Glycoside is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Koch's Glycoside reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Koch's Glycoside and Insulin (rDNA) records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Koch's Glycoside

What is Koch's Glycoside?

"Koch's Glycoside" is not a recognized dietary supplement, herb, or established medical compound, and there is no reliable information available about its source, safety, or effects. The name may be a confusion with discredited historical "cancer cures" (such as William F. Koch's controversial "glyoxylide") rather than a true plant glycoside. Because nothing trustworthy is known about it, we cannot recommend using it, and you should speak with a pharmacist or doctor before trying any product sold under this name.

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

Koch's Glycoside: dosing

There is no established or safe dose for Koch's Glycoside. No standardized preparation exists, and no health authority provides dosing guidance for it.We cannot recommend any amount. If you are considering a product sold under this name, bring the actual label and ingredient list to a pharmacist or doctor so they can help you understand what you would actually be taking.
