The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Miracle Fruit and dabigatran 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 dabigatran states a food rule worth keeping to.

Miracle Fruit and dabigatran

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 dabigatran and Miracle Fruit 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.

Miracle Fruit safety at a glance

Miracle Fruit overall Use caution Generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term and high-dose safety has not been well studied.
Pregnancy Use caution There is not enough reliable safety data, so it is best to avoid concentrated supplements and use caution.
Breastfeeding Use caution There is not enough reliable safety data, so caution is advised.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for dabigatran

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. dabigatran is filed under 3 classifications — anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs, p-glycoprotein substrates, oral drugs. Miracle Fruit has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of dabigatran’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 dabigatran’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Miracle Fruit. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of dabigatran’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. 7 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Stomach upset
  • Itching
  • Swelling

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for dabigatran. Read the label on DailyMed › Miracle Fruit’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Miracle Fruit side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Miracle Fruit has no side effects.

How to take them

Some dabigatran Products Have a Food Rule — Miracle Fruit Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing dabigatran says to take it with food. If you take Miracle Fruit on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take dabigatran 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 dabigatran 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.

Consider administration with food if gastrointestinal distress occurs with dabigatran etexilate capsules.

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

About Miracle Fruit

What is Miracle Fruit?

Miracle Fruit
  • Making sour foods taste sweet
  • Sugar substitute or sweetness enhancer
  • Reducing added sugar intake
  • Improving taste during chemotherapy
  • Novelty 'flavor tripping' experiences

Miracle fruit contains a protein called miraculin that temporarily makes sour and acidic foods taste sweet for up to about an hour. It is generally considered safe as a food when used occasionally, but high-quality research on any health benefits is limited. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Synsepalum dulcificum · Sapotaceae · Fruit (berry) · Fresh berries, freeze-dried tablets, freeze-dried powder, frozen pulp

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

Miracle Fruit: dosing

There is no official or standardized medical dose for miracle fruit. Products are usually sold as a single fresh berry, a freeze-dried tablet, or a small amount of powder meant for one taste-changing session.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not use more than recommended.

About Dabigatran

What Is Dabigatran Used For?

Brand names: Pradaxa, Pradax

Dabigatran etexilate capsules are used in adults to reduce the risk of stroke and dangerous blood clots in people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm not caused by a heart valve problem). They are also used to treat deep venous thrombosis (DVT — a blood clot in a deep vein) and pulmonary embolism (PE — a blood clot in the lungs), to lower the risk of those clots coming back, and to prevent DVT and PE in adults who have had hip replacement surgery.

In children ages 8 to under 18, dabigatran etexilate capsules are used to treat venous thromboembolic events (VTE — blood clots in the veins) and to reduce the risk of those clots recurring. Pradaxa Oral Pellets — a separate formulation — are indicated for the treatment and prevention of recurrent VTE in younger children ages 3 months to under 12 years.
