The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Maqui and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate 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.

Maqui and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate

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 Medroxyprogesterone Acetate and Maqui 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.

Maqui safety at a glance

Maqui overall Use caution Likely safe in food amounts, but supplement safety has not been well studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best to avoid supplement amounts.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best to avoid supplement amounts.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Medroxyprogesterone Acetate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Medroxyprogesterone Acetate is filed under 3 classifications — progestin, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Maqui has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (minor) — and none of Medroxyprogesterone Acetate’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 Medroxyprogesterone Acetate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Maqui. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Medroxyprogesterone Acetate’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. 5 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Changes to your period
  • A change in sex drive
  • Breast tenderness
  • Acne
  • Weight gain

Showing the 10 most notable of 19 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 Medroxyprogesterone Acetate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 60,491 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Medroxyprogesterone Acetate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Maqui’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Maqui side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Maqui has no side effects.

About Maqui

What is Maqui?

  • Antioxidant support
  • Blood sugar support
  • Eye health and dry eye
  • Anti-inflammatory support
  • Heart health

Maqui is a dark purple berry from Chile that is very rich in antioxidant plant pigments called anthocyanins. Early research suggests it may help with things like blood sugar, dry eye, and inflammation, but the human evidence is still limited and far from proven. It is generally well tolerated as a food, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements.

Aristotelia chilensis · Elaeocarpaceae · Berries (fruit); leaves are used traditionally · Capsules, powder, juice, extracts, dried berries

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

Maqui: dosing

There is no official or well-established dose for maqui. Doses used in research have varied widely depending on whether the product was a juice, powder, or standardized extract, so it is hard to recommend a single amount.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them.

About Medroxyprogesterone

What Is Medroxyprogesterone Used For?

Brand names: Proclim, Cycrin, Curretab, Depo-Provera CI

Medroxyprogesterone is a progestin (a form of the hormone progesterone). The injections and tablets are used for different things.

  • Injections (Depo-Provera CI and medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension): prevent pregnancy in females of reproductive potential.
  • Depo-SubQ Provera 104 (subcutaneous): prevents pregnancy and manages endometriosis-associated pain in females of reproductive age.
  • Tablets (Provera and medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets): treat secondary amenorrhea (missed periods) and abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance when there is no underlying problem such as fibroids or uterine cancer. They also help prevent endometrial hyperplasia (overgrowth of the uterine lining) in postmenopausal women with a uterus who take daily oral conjugated estrogens.

The injections are not recommended for more than 2 years unless other options are considered inadequate.
