The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Myrcia and Pramlintide 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.

Interaction report

Myrcia and Pramlintide

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 Pramlintide 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 Pramlintide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pramlintide is filed under a single classification — antidiabetes drugs. Myrcia has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being levothyroxine (synthroid, others) (moderate) — and none of Pramlintide’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.

Keep it in perspective

What to actually watch for

What Pramlintide’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Myrcia. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pramlintide’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. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Joint pain
  • Reduced appetite
  • Tiredness mentioned in 7.8% of FDA reports for Pramlintide
  • Stomach pain
  • Nausea mentioned in 8.8% of FDA reports for Pramlintide

Showing the 10 most notable of 13 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 Pramlintide. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 102 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pramlintide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. 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.

Overlapping uses

What Pramlintide Is Prescribed For, and What Myrcia Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Pramlintide is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Myrcia is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Pramlintide is prescribed for: SymlinPen (pramlintide) is used as an add-on treatment for adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who already use mealtime insulin but still haven't reached their target blood sugar levels — even with optimal insulin therapy. It is not a replacement for insulin. It works alongside insulin, given right before major meals, to reduce the spike in blood sugar that happens after eating.

Myrcia has been studied for:

  • Diabetes studied, not established Myrcia has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Myrcia for diabetes

    Preliminary clinical research shows that consumption of an herbal tea containing Myrcia uniflora leaves 3 grams daily for 56 days does not improve fasting plasma glucose, insulin, or glycated hemoglobin levels when compared with placebo in patients with or without type 2 diabetes.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Pramlintide on your own; if you are taking Myrcia for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Pramlintide

This page covers Myrcia only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Pramlintide page lists 239 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Siberian Cocklebur (major), Acai (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate), Agaricus Mushroom (moderate) and Agmatine (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 208 moderate · 30 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pramlintide page

“The single entry rated major on the pramlintide (Symlin) list is Siberian cocklebur, which has caused severe hypoglycemia in humans, not just in lab studies. That matters more than usual here because pramlintide is injected at mealtimes alongside insulin, and a dangerous low is already the main hazard of that pairing.”

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.

Are Myrcia and Pramlintide used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Myrcia in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Pramlintide is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Myrcia and Pramlintide combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Pramlintide is filed under 1 classification, and Myrcia has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Pramlintide'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 Myrcia interact with any other medications?
Yes. Myrcia has 3 documented drug interactions in our database — Pramlintide 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 Pramlintide interact with any supplements?
