Drug & supplement interaction

Manna + Idelalisib

Idelalisib brand name: Zydelig.

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 Manna and Idelalisib 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

Manna and Idelalisib

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 Idelalisib and Manna 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.

Manna safety at a glance

Manna overall Use caution Generally mild but can cause loose stools, gas, and cramping, especially at higher amounts.
Pregnancy Use caution Not well studied in pregnancy; use only under medical supervision.
Breastfeeding Use caution Little safety information exists, so caution is advised 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 Idelalisib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Idelalisib is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Manna has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being digoxin (lanoxin) (moderate), diuretic drugs (moderate) and stimulant laxatives (moderate) — and none of Idelalisib’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Manna and Idelalisib 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.

    Idelalisib

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Idelalisib. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Manna but not commonly for Idelalisib: bloating or gas.

Effects for Idelalisib come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Manna come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 7,040 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Idelalisib 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Idelalisib page

“Idelalisib (Zydelig) treats certain blood cancers, work that leaves little room for error, so start with the three major-rated entries on this page. Grapefruit raises idelalisib levels and the risk of side effects with them, St.”

About Manna

What is Manna?

Manna
  • Gentle constipation relief
  • Mild laxative for children and elderly
  • Natural sweetener
  • Occasional bowel softening

Manna is the dried, sweet sap of the flowering ash tree (Fraxinus ornus) and is best known as a gentle, mild laxative because it contains a sugar alcohol called mannitol. It is generally considered mild and is sometimes used for occasional constipation, but high-quality modern studies are limited, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Fraxinus ornus · Oleaceae · Dried sap (exudate) from the bark and stems · Dried flakes or pieces, syrup, powder, and as an ingredient in laxative products

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

Manna: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of manna for supplement use. Amounts have traditionally varied based on the person's age and how strong a laxative effect is needed, with smaller amounts used for children.If you choose to use a manna product, follow the directions on the label and start with the lowest amount.

About Idelalisib

What Is Idelalisib Used For?

Zydelig (idelalisib) is approved to treat relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) — a cancer of the blood and bone marrow — when used together with rituximab.

It is also not approved in combination with bendamustine and rituximab, or with rituximab alone, for FL, SLL, or other slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Idelalisib

Taking Manna and Idelalisib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Manna with Idelalisib?
We do not list a known interaction between Manna and Idelalisib. 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 Manna and Idelalisib 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.
How was the Manna and Idelalisib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Idelalisib is filed under 3 classifications, and Manna has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Idelalisib'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 Manna interact with any other medications?
Yes. Manna has 99 documented drug interactions in our database — Idelalisib 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 Idelalisib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Idelalisib has documented interactions with 143 supplements in our database — Manna is not one of them. The Idelalisib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
