The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Myrcia and Diethylpropion 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.

Myrcia and Diethylpropion

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 Diethylpropion and Myrcia 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Diethylpropion

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Diethylpropion is filed under 2 classifications — stimulant drugs, oral drugs. Myrcia has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being levothyroxine (synthroid, others) (moderate) — and none of Diethylpropion’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 Diethylpropion’s Own FDA Label Lists

  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Diethylpropion page

“Diethylpropion (Tenuate) is an appetite suppressant that works by revving up the nervous system, and that mechanism is why its interaction list calls for real vigilance. Of the 61 supplements and herbs on file, 44 add their own stimulant push, raising the risk of high blood pressure, a pounding heart, and sleeplessness.”

About Myrcia

What is Myrcia?

  • Blood sugar support
  • Digestive upset and diarrhea
  • Mild urinary complaints
  • Astringent for the gut
  • Traditional 'pedra-hume-caa' folk remedy

Myrcia is a group of tropical shrubs and trees in the myrtle family, used in South American folk medicine—often as a tea—mainly for blood sugar and digestive complaints. Human evidence is very limited, so it should not replace proven treatments. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have diabetes or take other medicines.

Myrtaceae · Leaves (and sometimes bark) · Tea, dried leaf, capsules, liquid extracts

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

Myrcia: dosing

There is no established standardized dose for Myrcia. Traditional use is usually as a tea made from the dried leaves, but amounts vary widely and are not backed by clinical research.If you choose to try a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

From our Myrcia monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.
