Drug & supplement interaction

Mangosteen + Lurasidone

Lurasidone brand name: Latuda.

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 Mangosteen and Lurasidone 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 Lurasidone states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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

Mangosteen and Lurasidone

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 Lurasidone and Mangosteen 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.

Mangosteen safety at a glance

Mangosteen overall Use caution Generally considered safe as a food, but long-term safety of concentrated supplements is not well studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid supplement amounts during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid supplement amounts while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Lurasidone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lurasidone is filed under 4 classifications — including antipsychotic drugs, seizure threshold lowering drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Mangosteen has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and donepezil (aricept) (minor) — and none of Lurasidone’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 Mangosteen and Lurasidone 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.

How to take them

Some Lurasidone Products Have a Food Rule — Mangosteen Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Lurasidone says to take it with food. If you take Mangosteen on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Lurasidone 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 Lurasidone 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 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LATUDA should be taken with food (at least 350 calories).

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

Overlapping uses

What Lurasidone Is Prescribed For, and What Mangosteen Has Been Studied For

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

Lurasidone is prescribed for: Lurasidone hydrochloride tablets are approved to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents aged 13 to 17, and to treat depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (bipolar depression) in adults and children aged 10 to 17. Latuda is one of the brand names under which lurasidone is available as a tablet. For bipolar depression, lurasidone can be used on its own (monotherapy) in adults and pediatric patients aged 10 to 17, or used alongside lithium or valproate (adjunctive therapy) in adults.

Mangosteen has been studied for:

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

    Mangosteen for schizophrenia

    It is unclear if oral mangosteen is beneficial in schizophrenia.

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 Lurasidone on your own; if you are taking Mangosteen 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 Lurasidone page

“Supplements deserve real scrutiny alongside lurasidone (Latuda), a medication for schizophrenia and bipolar depression that relies almost entirely on one liver enzyme, CYP3A4, to clear it. Grapefruit blocks that enzyme and can push lurasidone levels high enough to worsen side effects, while St.”

About Mangosteen

What is Mangosteen?

Mangosteen
  • Antioxidant support
  • Anti-inflammatory support
  • Immune support
  • Skin health
  • General wellness

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit whose rind is rich in plant compounds called xanthones that act as antioxidants. While it is popular in juices and supplements for inflammation, immune support, and general wellness, strong human evidence for these benefits is limited. It is likely fine as a food, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements.

Garcinia mangostana · Clusiaceae · Fruit, and especially the rind (pericarp) · Juice, capsules, tablets, powders, dried rind, extracts

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

Mangosteen: dosing

There is no standard, well-established dose for mangosteen supplements. Products vary widely in strength and form, from juices to capsules to powders.The best advice is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Mangosteen and Lurasidone Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Mangosteen with Lurasidone?
We do not list a known interaction between Mangosteen and Lurasidone. 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 Mangosteen and Lurasidone have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 7 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.
Should I take Mangosteen and Lurasidone at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Lurasidone says to take it with food. If you take Mangosteen on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Lurasidone with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Lurasidone products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Are Mangosteen and Lurasidone 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 Mangosteen in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Lurasidone is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Mangosteen and Lurasidone combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Lurasidone is filed under 4 classifications, and Mangosteen has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Lurasidone'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 Mangosteen interact with any other medications?
Yes. Mangosteen has 125 documented drug interactions in our database — Lurasidone 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 Lurasidone interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lurasidone has documented interactions with 149 supplements in our database — Mangosteen is not one of them. The Lurasidone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
