Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus + Hydroxyurea

Hydroxyurea brand names: Droxia, Hydrea, Siklos, Xromi.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea

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 Hydroxyurea and Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Hydroxyurea

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Hydroxyurea is filed under 2 classifications — antineoplastics, oral drugs. Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antibiotic drugs (moderate) — and none of Hydroxyurea’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

A higher chance of infection Worth acting on Additional detail
Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus
“Since Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus preparations contain live and active microorganisms, there is some concern that they might cause pathological infection in some patients. Some lactobacilli species have been isolated in some cases of bacteremia, sepsis, splenic abscess, endocarditis, necrotizing fasciitis, pancreatic necrosis, and meningoencephalitis.”

Reported for Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus but not commonly for Hydroxyurea: mouth irritation or sores.

Effects for Hydroxyurea come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 21,027 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Hydroxyurea that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Special populations

Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Possibly Safe

When used orally and appropriately. Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG has been used with apparent safety starting 2-4 weeks before delivery. L. rhamnosus HN001 has been used from 14-16 weeks' gestation until 6 months post-delivery. The combination of L. rhamnosus with Bifidobacterium longum has been used from 2 months prior to delivery until 2 months after delivery or throughout pregnancy. The combination of L. rhamnosus GR-1 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri RC-14 has been used for up to two trimesters during pregnancy. A combination of L. rhamnosus, Lactobacillus jensenii, Lactobacillus crispatus, and Lactobacillus gasseri has been used safely for 3-4 weeks from 32-36 weeks' gestation. A meta-analysis of four clinical trials shows that taking probiotics during pregnancy increases the relative risk of pre-eclampsia by 85% when compared with placebo. Although the specific effects of L. rhamnosus are unclear from this analysis, two of the included studies used L. rhamnosus GG and one used L. rhamnosus HN001. More information is needed to determine if certain patients are at increased risk.

Lactation Possibly Safe

When used orally and appropriately. Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG has been used with apparent safety when breastfeeding for up to six months and L. rhamnosus HN001 has been used from 14-16 weeks' gestation until 6 months post-delivery. A combination of L. rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium longum has been used with apparent safety from 2 months prior to delivery until 2 months after delivery.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Hydroxyurea

This page covers Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Hydroxyurea page lists 18 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 10 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Hydroxyurea page

“People take hydroxyurea (Droxia, Hydrea, Siklos, Xromi) for serious reasons, most often sickle cell disease or certain blood cancers, and it only works if a steady dose reaches the bloodstream. That is exactly what nearly all 18 supplements listed here can undermine, so this page earns real vigilance rather than a skim.”

About Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus

What is Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus?

Diarrhea (including antibiotic-related)
Digestive health
Vaginal and urinary health
Eczema and allergy prevention in children
Immune support

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (often labeled L. rhamnosus GG) is a well-studied probiotic bacterium used mainly for diarrhea and general gut health. It is considered safe for most healthy people, with the best evidence for preventing certain types of diarrhea, but benefits for many other uses are uncertain. People who are seriously ill or have weakened immune systems should check with a doctor first.

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

Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus: dosing

There is no single official dose for L. rhamnosus. Probiotic doses are usually measured in colony-forming units (CFU), and the amount used in studies varies widely by product and condition.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and choose a reputable brand. Because effects can depend on the specific strain, it helps to pick a product that lists the exact strain.

Taking Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus with Hydroxyurea?

We do not list a known interaction between Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea. 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.

Do Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.

How was the Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Hydroxyurea combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Hydroxyurea is filed under 2 classifications, and Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Hydroxyurea's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.

Does Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus interact with any other medications?

Yes. Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus has 182 documented drug interactions in our database — Hydroxyurea is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.

Does Hydroxyurea interact with any supplements?

Yes. Hydroxyurea has documented interactions with 18 supplements in our database — Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus is not one of them. The Hydroxyurea interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
