Drug & supplement interaction

Koch's Glycoside + Linaclotide

Linaclotide brand name: Linzess.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Koch's Glycoside and Linaclotide 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 Linaclotide states a food rule worth keeping to.

Koch's Glycoside and Linaclotide

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 Linaclotide 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 Linaclotide, 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 Linaclotide’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 Linaclotide’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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Heartburn
  • Bloating or gas mentioned in 4.4% of FDA reports for Linaclotide
  • Diarrhea mentioned in 17.7% of FDA reports for Linaclotide
  • Constipation mentioned in 7.5% of FDA reports for Linaclotide
  • Stomach pain mentioned in 4.0% of FDA reports for Linaclotide
  • Headache mentioned in 3.9% of FDA reports for Linaclotide
  • Vomiting

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Linaclotide. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 26,525 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Linaclotide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. 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 Linaclotide Products Have a Food Rule — Koch's Glycoside Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Linaclotide says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Koch's Glycoside included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Linaclotide on its own and move Koch's Glycoside to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Linaclotide 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.

Preparation and Administration Instructions • Take LINZESS on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes prior to a meal at approximately the same time each day.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Linaclotide — 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Linaclotide page

“Linaclotide (Linzess) treats IBS with constipation by acting inside the intestine itself, so the capsule's contents have to reach the gut unbound to do their job. That is exactly what the 17 supplements on this page can interfere with, and I would read the list with genuine care.”

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 20, 2026. The Koch's Glycoside and Linaclotide 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.

Taking Koch's Glycoside and Linaclotide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Koch's Glycoside with Linaclotide?
We do not list a known interaction between Koch's Glycoside and Linaclotide. 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.
Should I take Koch's Glycoside and Linaclotide at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Linaclotide says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Linaclotide on its own and move Koch's Glycoside to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Does Linaclotide interact with any supplements?
Yes. Linaclotide has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Koch's Glycoside is not one of them. The Linaclotide interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
