Drug & supplement interaction

Lactobacillus Gasseri + Omadacycline (IV)

Omadacycline (IV) brand name: Nuzyra.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV) 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

Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV)

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 Omadacycline (IV) and Lactobacillus Gasseri 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 Omadacycline (IV)

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Omadacycline (IV) is filed under a single classification — tetracycline antibiotics. Lactobacillus Gasseri has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antibiotic drugs (moderate) — and none of Omadacycline (IV)’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 Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV) May Share a Side Effect

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

    Lactobacillus Gasseri

    “Since Lactobacillus gasseri preparations contain live and active microorganisms, there is some concern that they might cause pathogenic infection in some patients. Some lactobacilli species have been isolated in cases of bacteremia, sepsis, splenic abscess, endocarditis, necrotizing fasciitis, pancreatic necrosis, and meningoencephalitis.”

Overlapping uses

What Omadacycline (IV) Is Prescribed For, and What Lactobacillus Gasseri Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Omadacycline (IV) is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Lactobacillus Gasseri is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Omadacycline (IV) is prescribed for: Nuzyra (omadacycline) injection is used in adults to treat two types of serious bacterial infections: community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) — a lung infection picked up outside of a hospital — and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI), which include serious skin infections such as those caused by MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Nuzyra works only against bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral illnesses like the flu or common cold. Your doctor will prescribe it only when a bacterial infection is confirmed or strongly suspected, to help prevent the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Lactobacillus Gasseri has been studied for:

  • Common cold studied, not established Lactobacillus Gasseri has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Lactobacillus Gasseri for common cold

    Oral Lactobacillus gasseri has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients; its effect when used alone is unclear.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Omadacycline (IV) on your own; if you are taking Lactobacillus Gasseri for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Omadacycline (IV) page

“Omadacycline (Nuzyra) is a tetracycline antibiotic given by IV drip for serious pneumonia and skin infections, and its interaction list earns real vigilance. The entry to understand first is oleander, the only one of the 24 rated major: tetracyclines can shift the gut bacteria that normally break down its heart-toxic compounds, letting…”

About Lactobacillus Gasseri

What is Lactobacillus Gasseri?

  • Digestive health
  • Weight and belly fat management
  • Vaginal and urinary health
  • Bloating and gut discomfort
  • General immune support

Lactobacillus gasseri is a 'friendly' probiotic bacterium found naturally in the human gut, mouth, and vaginal tract, and in some fermented foods. Early research suggests it may help with digestion, weight management, and vaginal health, but the evidence is limited and far from conclusive. It is generally well tolerated in healthy people, but anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has a weakened immune system should talk to a pharmacist or doctor first.

Lactobacillus gasseri · Lactobacillaceae · Live bacterial cells (probiotic strain) · Capsules, tablets, powders, fermented dairy products, and combination probiotic supplements

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

Lactobacillus Gasseri: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of L. gasseri. Probiotic amounts are usually measured in colony-forming units (CFUs), and products vary widely.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV) Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Lactobacillus Gasseri with Omadacycline (IV)?
We do not list a known interaction between Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV). 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 Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV) have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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.
Are Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV) used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Lactobacillus Gasseri in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Omadacycline (IV) is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Lactobacillus Gasseri and Omadacycline (IV) combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Omadacycline (IV) is filed under 1 classification, and Lactobacillus Gasseri has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Omadacycline (IV)'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 Lactobacillus Gasseri interact with any other medications?
Yes. Lactobacillus Gasseri has 182 documented drug interactions in our database — Omadacycline (IV) 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 Omadacycline (IV) interact with any supplements?
Yes. Omadacycline (IV) has documented interactions with 24 supplements in our database — Lactobacillus Gasseri is not one of them. The Omadacycline (IV) interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
