Drug & supplement interaction

Moneywort + Atazanavir

Atazanavir brand name: Reyataz.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Moneywort and Atazanavir 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 Atazanavir states a food rule worth keeping to.

Moneywort and Atazanavir

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 Atazanavir and Moneywort 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Moneywort at all — not against Atazanavir, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What to actually watch for

What Atazanavir’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Moneywort. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Atazanavir’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. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low mood Worth acting on mentioned in 13.3% of FDA reports for Atazanavir
  • Kidney stones Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Muscle pain
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Fever
  • Stomach pain
  • Dizziness
  • Diarrhea

Showing the 10 most notable of 14 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 Atazanavir. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 14,470 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Atazanavir that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Moneywort’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Moneywort side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Moneywort has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Atazanavir Products Have a Food Rule — Moneywort Should Not Break It

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

b For adult patients who cannot swallow the capsules, REYATAZ oral powder is taken once daily with food at the same recommended adult dosage as the capsules along with ritonavir.

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Atazanavir page

“Atazanavir (Reyataz) treats HIV, and keeping its blood level steady is what stands between viral control and drug resistance, so I read this list with genuine care. Of the 152 supplement and herbal ingredients on file, three carry a major rating: St.”

  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Moneywort reference on this page ↓

  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Moneywort

What is Moneywort?

Moneywort
  • Wound healing
  • Mild diarrhea
  • Cough and respiratory complaints
  • Minor skin irritation
  • Mild bleeding (traditional)

Moneywort (Creeping Jenny) is a low-growing garden plant used in some folk traditions for wounds, coughs, and digestive upset, but there is very little scientific research to confirm any of these uses. Because solid safety and effectiveness data are lacking, it is best to talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and to avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Lysimachia nummularia · Primulaceae · Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowers) · Tea, dried herb, tincture, topical preparations

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

Moneywort: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for Moneywort. Because it has not been studied in well-designed human trials, experts cannot recommend a specific amount that is both safe and effective.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. A pharmacist can help you review the product and decide whether it is appropriate for you. When in doubt, less is safer, and always start with the smallest amount.
