Drug & supplement interaction

Nattokinase + Reslizumab

Reslizumab brand name: Cinqair.

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 Nattokinase and Reslizumab 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.

Interaction report

Nattokinase and Reslizumab

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 Reslizumab and Nattokinase 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.

Nattokinase safety at a glance

Nattokinase overall Use caution Generally tolerated short-term, but its blood-thinning effect means caution for people with bleeding risk.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety is unknown while breastfeeding, so avoid it to be safe.

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

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Nattokinase and Reslizumab May Share a Side Effect

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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    Nattokinase

    “Orally, nattokinase can cause hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, in individuals sensitive to natto. A case series examining hypersensitivity reactions to natto shows that the causative allergen can be either nattokinase or polygamma glutamic acid (PGA), both of which are found in the sticky substance surrounding natto soybeans.”

About Nattokinase

What is Nattokinase?

Nattokinase
  • Heart and circulatory health
  • Blood clot prevention
  • High blood pressure
  • Improving blood flow
  • Cholesterol support

Nattokinase is an enzyme from the fermented soybean food natto that may have mild blood-thinning and blood-flow effects. Some small studies hint at benefits for blood pressure and circulation, but the evidence is limited and more research is needed. Because it can affect clotting, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you take medicines or have a bleeding risk.

Enzyme extracted from natto (fermented soybeans) · Capsules, tablets, softgels

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

Nattokinase: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose of nattokinase. Products are often measured in "fibrinolytic units" (FU), and the amount varies a lot from brand to brand.Because of this, the best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not take more than recommended.

About Reslizumab Injection

What Is Reslizumab Injection Used For?

Brand name: Cinqair

Cinqair (reslizumab) injection is indicated for adults 18 years and older with severe asthma that is driven by high eosinophil levels (a type of white blood cell involved in allergic inflammation). It is used as an add-on treatment, meaning it works alongside other asthma medicines the patient is already taking.

Cinqair is not meant to treat sudden asthma attacks or to relieve symptoms in the moment. It is also not approved for other conditions caused by high eosinophil levels, and it is not approved for anyone under 18.

Taking Nattokinase and Reslizumab Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Nattokinase with Reslizumab?
We do not list a known interaction between Nattokinase and Reslizumab. 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 Nattokinase and Reslizumab have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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.
Does Nattokinase interact with any other medications?
Yes. Nattokinase has 289 documented drug interactions in our database — Reslizumab is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
