Drug & supplement interaction

Noni + Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

Metoclopramide Hydrochloride brand name: Gimoti.

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 Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 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

Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

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 Metoclopramide Hydrochloride and Noni 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.

Noni safety at a glance

Noni overall Use caution Generally tolerated in moderate amounts, but rare liver injury and high potassium content are concerns.
Pregnancy Avoid Traditionally used to cause abortion, so it should not be used during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information is available, so it is best avoided.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Metoclopramide Hydrochloride is filed under 5 classifications — including serotonergic drugs, serotonergic drugs, cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates. Noni has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — the most serious being ace inhibitors (aceis) (moderate), angiotensin receptor blockers (arbs) (moderate) and antihypertensive drugs (moderate) — and none of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride’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 Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Liver problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    Noni

    “Noni has been associated with several cases of hepatotoxicity in previously healthy patients ranging in age from 14 to 62 years. In two cases, the patients had used a tea or other herbal products containing noni; five had consumed noni juice, specifically Tahitian Noni Juice (Tahitian Noni International); and two cases involved energy drinks containing several herbal ingredients including noni.”

Reported for Noni but not commonly for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride: stomach upset.

Effects for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Noni come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 76,710 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 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.

Overlapping uses

What Metoclopramide Hydrochloride Is Prescribed For, and What Noni Has Been Studied For

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

Metoclopramide Hydrochloride is prescribed for: Gimoti (metoclopramide nasal spray) is approved for adults with acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis — a condition where diabetes damages the nerves controlling stomach emptying, causing nausea, vomiting, and bloating. It works to relieve those symptoms by helping the stomach empty more normally. Gimoti is not recommended for children, or for adults with moderate to severe kidney or liver disease. It is also not recommended for adults taking strong CYP2D6 inhibitor medications (certain antidepressants and other drugs that slow how the body breaks down metoclopramide).

Noni has been studied for:

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

    Noni for liver disease

    Although there has been interest in using oral noni for liver disease, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of noni for this purpose.

    Additionally, there is some concern that noni might cause hepatotoxicity in some patients.

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

    Noni for diabetes

    Although there has been interest in using oral noni for diabetes, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of noni for this purpose.

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 Metoclopramide Hydrochloride on your own; if you are taking Noni for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

This page covers Noni only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Metoclopramide Hydrochloride page lists 135 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major), Kava (major) and L-tryptophan (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Metoclopramide Hydrochloride page

“Metoclopramide (Gimoti, also sold as Reglan) calms nausea and speeds a slow stomach by acting on the brain, and that is exactly where most of these 135 supplements and herbs collide with it. This is a list to treat with genuine care.”

About Noni

What is Noni?

Noni
  • General wellness and energy
  • Inflammation and joint pain
  • Immune support
  • High blood pressure
  • Skin and wound care
  • Digestive complaints

Noni is a tropical fruit used widely in folk medicine and sold mostly as a juice or supplement, but solid human evidence for its many claimed benefits is limited. While moderate juice intake is generally well tolerated, there are rare reports of liver problems, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have kidney or liver disease.

Morinda citrifolia · Rubiaceae · Fruit (most common), but also leaves, roots, bark, stem, and flowers · Juice, capsules, tablets, powders, teas, and topical products

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

Noni: dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose for noni. Products vary widely in strength and form, including juice, capsules, and powders.Commercial noni juices are often consumed in small daily amounts, but the right amount depends on the specific product. The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the suggested amount.Because supplements are not tightly regulated, quality and purity can differ between brands.

Taking Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Noni with Metoclopramide Hydrochloride?
We do not list a known interaction between Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride. 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 Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 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 Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 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 Noni in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Metoclopramide Hydrochloride is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Noni and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Metoclopramide Hydrochloride is filed under 5 classifications, and Noni has documented interactions with 8 drug classes — none of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride'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 Noni interact with any other medications?
Yes. Noni has 542 documented drug interactions in our database — Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 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 Metoclopramide Hydrochloride interact with any supplements?
Yes. Metoclopramide Hydrochloride has documented interactions with 135 supplements in our database — Noni is not one of them. The Metoclopramide Hydrochloride interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
