Myrrh + Risankizumab-Rzaa

Risankizumab-Rzaa brand name: Skyrizi.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa

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 Risankizumab-Rzaa and Myrrh 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 Risankizumab-Rzaa

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Risankizumab-Rzaa is filed under a single classification — immunosuppressants. Myrrh has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) and warfarin (coumadin) (moderate) — and none of Risankizumab-Rzaa’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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

Overlapping uses

What Risankizumab-Rzaa Is Prescribed For, and What Myrrh Has Been Studied For

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

Risankizumab-Rzaa is prescribed for: Skyrizi (risankizumab-rzaa) injection is approved to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis in adults and children 6 years of age and older. It is also approved for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults. For plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, Skyrizi is given as a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection. For Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, Skyrizi treatment begins with intravenous (IV) infusions given in a clinical setting, followed by subcutaneous maintenance injections.

Myrrh has been studied for:

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

    Myrrh for ulcerative colitis

    Oral myrrh has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients, its effect when used alone is unclear.

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

    Myrrh for diarrhea

    Oral myrrh has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients, its effect when used alone is unclear.

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 Risankizumab-Rzaa on your own; if you are taking Myrrh for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Risankizumab-Rzaa page

“Echinacea captures the concern on this page better than any other entry. Risankizumab-rzaa (Skyrizi) treats plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease by quieting one arm of the immune system, and echinacea, like nearly all 53 ingredients listed here, is taken specifically to stir the immune system up.”

About Myrrh

What is Myrrh?

Myrrh
  • Mouth and gum irritation
  • Sore throat
  • Minor wound and skin care
  • Digestive upset
  • Antimicrobial/antiseptic uses

Myrrh is a fragrant gum resin from Commiphora trees that has long been used in mouthwashes, throat remedies, and skin care. Modern evidence for most of its uses is limited and comes mostly from laboratory or small studies, so it should be viewed as a traditional remedy rather than a proven treatment. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy.

Commiphora myrrha · Burseraceae · Gum resin (and essential oil distilled from the resin) · Tincture, mouthwash/gargle, capsules, powder, essential oil, topical preparations, incense

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

Myrrh: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose of myrrh for any condition. Strengths vary widely between tinctures, mouthwashes, capsules, and essential oils.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them. Mouthwashes and gargles are usually diluted and not swallowed. Essential oil should never be swallowed and must be diluted before applying to the skin.

Taking Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Myrrh with Risankizumab-Rzaa?
We do not list a known interaction between Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Are Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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 Myrrh in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Risankizumab-Rzaa is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Myrrh and Risankizumab-Rzaa combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Risankizumab-Rzaa is filed under 1 classification, and Myrrh has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Risankizumab-Rzaa'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 Myrrh interact with any other medications?
Yes. Myrrh has 88 documented drug interactions in our database — Risankizumab-Rzaa 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 Risankizumab-Rzaa interact with any supplements?
Yes. Risankizumab-Rzaa has documented interactions with 53 supplements in our database — Myrrh is not one of them. The Risankizumab-Rzaa interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
