Drug & supplement interaction

Nickel + Finerenone

Finerenone brand name: Kerendia.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Nickel and Finerenone 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

Nickel and Finerenone

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 Finerenone and Nickel 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.

Nickel safety at a glance

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Finerenone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Finerenone is filed under 3 classifications — potassium-sparing diuretics, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Nickel has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being disulfiram (antabuse) (moderate) — and none of Finerenone’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 Nickel and Finerenone 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.

Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Finerenone, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Nickel but not commonly for Finerenone: a severe allergic reaction, an allergic reaction, stomach pain and a skin rash.

Effects for Finerenone come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Nickel come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 2,960 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Finerenone that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Special populations

Nickel in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally and appropriately. Nickel is safe to use during pregnancy and lactation in doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 1 mg daily. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of nickel when taken in doses above the UL during pregnancy and lactation.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Finerenone

This page covers Nickel only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Finerenone page lists 146 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 101 moderate · 42 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Finerenone page

“Kerendia (finerenone) protects the kidneys and heart in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, and because the body clears it through one main enzyme, CYP3A4, its supplement list calls for genuine care. Of the 146 ingredients on file, 121 can push that enzyme up or down, letting finerenone drift too high or too low.”

About Nickel

What is Nickel?

General trace-mineral supplementation
Supporting iron and other nutrient metabolism (theoretical)
Marketed for bone or hormone support

Nickel is a trace element found in tiny amounts in many foods, and most people get plenty through diet. There is no proven need for nickel supplements, and because nickel is a common cause of allergic reactions and can be toxic in higher amounts, most people should not take it. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using any nickel-containing supplement.

Trace mineral (metallic element) · Tablets, capsules, and as part of some multivitamin or trace-mineral supplements (often as nickel sulfate or nickel chloride)

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

Nickel: dosing

There is no established recommended supplement dose of nickel, because a clear human requirement has not been proven and most people get enough from food. Health authorities have set upper limits to help avoid harmful exposure, but this does not mean people need to take supplements to reach any amount.If a product contains nickel, follow the label and do not take more than directed.

About Finerenone

What Is Finerenone Used For?

Brand name: Kerendia

Kerendia (finerenone) is used in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) linked to type 2 diabetes. It helps reduce the risk of kidney function decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, non-fatal heart attack, and hospitalization for heart failure in these patients.

Kerendia is also used in adults with heart failure who have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) — a measure of how well the heart pumps — of 40% or higher. In this group, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visits.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Finerenone

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (2,960 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Glomerular filtration rate decreased 308 reports

Hyperkalaemia 261 reports

Blood creatinine increased 226 reports

Blood potassium increased 180 reports

Renal impairment 140 reports

Taking Nickel and Finerenone Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Nickel with Finerenone?

We do not list a known interaction between Nickel and Finerenone. 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 Nickel and Finerenone 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.

How was the Nickel and Finerenone combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Finerenone is filed under 3 classifications, and Nickel has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Finerenone'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 Nickel interact with any other medications?

Yes. Nickel has 1 documented drug interaction in our database — Finerenone 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 Finerenone interact with any supplements?

Yes. Finerenone has documented interactions with 146 supplements in our database — Nickel is not one of them. The Finerenone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
