Drug & supplement interaction

Ozone Therapy + Apixaban

Apixaban brand name: Eliquis.

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 Ozone Therapy and Apixaban 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.

Ozone Therapy and Apixaban

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 Apixaban and Ozone Therapy in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Ozone Therapy alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Ozone Therapy at all — not against Apixaban, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

Ozone Therapy is a treatment rather than something you take. Tell whoever provides it which medicines you use, and ask your prescriber whether it is appropriate for your health and treatment. 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.

Ozone Therapy safety at a glance

Ozone Therapy overall Use caution Ozone is a toxic gas if inhaled, and most uses lack strong proof of benefit, so professional medical oversight is essential.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety data, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid There is not enough safety data, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Ozone Therapy and Apixaban 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 having Ozone Therapy while taking the medicine 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Apixaban

This page covers Ozone Therapy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Apixaban page lists 285 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Danshen (major), Grapefruit (major), Piracetam (major) and St. John's Wort (major).

By severity: 5 major · 240 moderate · 40 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Apixaban page

“St. John's wort can weaken apixaban (Eliquis), speeding how the body clears this blood thinner and leaving you less protected from the strokes and clots it is prescribed to prevent.”

About Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone Therapy?

  • Wound and skin infections
  • Joint and back pain
  • Immune support
  • Dental and gum care
  • Chronic infections
  • General 'detox' and wellness claims

Ozone therapy uses a reactive form of oxygen for a wide range of unproven health claims, and it is not a dietary supplement or herb. High-quality evidence for most uses is limited, and breathing ozone is harmful to the lungs. If you are considering it, talk to a licensed doctor or pharmacist first, since safety and benefit are not well established.

Medical ozone gas (a mixture of oxygen and ozone) · Gas insufflation, ozonated water, ozonated oils, major and minor autohemotherapy (blood treatment), injections

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

Ozone Therapy: dosing

There is no standardized, proven dose for ozone therapy, and it varies widely between providers and methods. Concentrations, volumes, and treatment schedules are not well established by high-quality research.Because ozone is reactive and potentially harmful, you should never try to make or use it at home. If you are considering ozone therapy, only do so under the supervision of a licensed, experienced healthcare professional, and discuss it with your own doctor or pharmacist first to make sure it is appropriate and safe for you.

About Apixaban

What Is Apixaban Used For?

Brand name: Eliquis

Apixaban is used to reduce the risk of stroke and dangerous clots traveling through the body in adults with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm not caused by a heart valve problem). It is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT — a blood clot in the leg) in adults after hip or knee replacement surgery, and to treat DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE — a blood clot in the lungs) in adults, including reducing the risk of those clots coming back.

Eliquis (the brand-name tablet and kit) is additionally approved to treat venous thromboembolism (VTE — blood clots in the veins) and reduce the risk of recurrent VTE in pediatric patients from birth and older, after at least 5 days of initial anticoagulant treatment. The generic apixaban tablet carries the adult indications only.

Having Ozone Therapy While Taking Apixaban: Common Questions

Is it safe to have Ozone Therapy while taking Apixaban?
We do not list a known interaction between Ozone Therapy and Apixaban. 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 Ozone Therapy and Apixaban 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 Apixaban interact with any supplements?
Yes. Apixaban has documented interactions with 285 supplements in our database — Ozone Therapy is not one of them. The Apixaban interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
