No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Krebiozen and Codeine Phosphate 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.

Krebiozen and Codeine Phosphate

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 Codeine Phosphate and Krebiozen 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 Krebiozen at all — not against Codeine Phosphate, 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 Codeine Phosphate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Krebiozen. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Codeine Phosphate’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • Serotonin syndrome Worth acting on
  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 32 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 Codeine Phosphate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 6,086 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Codeine Phosphate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Krebiozen’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Krebiozen side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Krebiozen has no side effects.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Codeine Phosphate

This page covers Krebiozen only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Codeine Phosphate page lists 144 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Kava (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Codeine Phosphate page

“Codeine phosphate is an opioid painkiller and cough suppressant that slows breathing along with brain activity, and the wrong supplement can push that effect into dangerous territory. Seven of the 144 documented ingredients rate major, and nearly all of that serious risk comes from things that deepen sedation.”

About Krebiozen

What is Krebiozen?

  • Promoted as a cancer treatment (unproven)

Krebiozen was a so-called "cancer cure" promoted in the 1950s and 1960s that was never proven to work and was discredited by U.S. government investigations. It is not a dietary supplement or herb, it is not available legally, and you should not seek it out as a treatment for any condition.

Originally claimed to be derived from horse blood serum (not a plant) · Historically sold as an injectable liquid

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

Krebiozen: dosing

There is no legitimate, established dose for Krebiozen because it is not an approved or recommended treatment. It is not a product you should obtain or use.If you come across something being sold today under the name Krebiozen or marketed as a similar "secret" cancer cure, do not use it.

Because of the serious risks of addiction, misuse, overdose, and death, codeine is reserved for patients whose pain cannot be managed adequately with other options. It is not a first-choice pain reliever.

Dependence 3,533 reports
