Drug & supplement interaction

Ozone Therapy + Moxidectin

Moxidectin brand name: Moxidectin.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Ozone Therapy and Moxidectin 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 Moxidectin

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 Moxidectin 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 Moxidectin, 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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Ozone Therapy and Moxidectin 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 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.

    “Inhaled and injected ozone has been associated with blindness and encephalopathy. In a case report, a 36-year-old female presented with Anton syndrome, or ischemic stroke resulting in sudden bilateral blindness, nausea, vomiting and loss of strength after using inhalation ozone therapy for 1 week intended to help with hearing loss and tinnitus from Meniere disease. Reversal of blindness was not reported.”

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Moxidectin

This page covers Ozone Therapy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Moxidectin page lists 17 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Moxidectin page

“Moxidectin is usually taken as a single oral dose to clear the parasite that causes river blindness, which means it only works if that one dose is fully absorbed. All 17 supplements flagged here can interfere with exactly that, and one of them, activated charcoal, is rated major because it binds drugs in the gut and can strip away a la…”

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 Moxidectin

What Is Moxidectin Used For?

Brand name: Moxidectin

Moxidectin Tablets are used to treat onchocerciasis — a parasitic infection caused by Onchocerca volvulus, commonly known as river blindness. It is approved for adults and children aged 4 years and older who weigh at least 13 kg (about 29 lbs).

Important to know: Moxidectin does not kill the adult O. volvulus worms — it targets the immature larvae (microfilariae) instead. Because of this, follow-up evaluation after treatment is advised. The safety and effectiveness of taking Moxidectin more than once for this infection has not been studied.

Having Ozone Therapy While Taking Moxidectin: Common Questions

Is it safe to have Ozone Therapy while taking Moxidectin?
We do not list a known interaction between Ozone Therapy and Moxidectin. 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 Moxidectin 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.
Does Moxidectin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Moxidectin has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Ozone Therapy is not one of them. The Moxidectin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
