Drug & supplement interaction

Panax Notoginseng + Risankizumab-Rzaa

Risankizumab-Rzaa brand name: Skyrizi.

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 Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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

Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa

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 Risankizumab-Rzaa and Panax Notoginseng 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Risankizumab-Rzaa

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Risankizumab-Rzaa is filed under a single classification — immunosuppressants. Panax Notoginseng has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being aspirin (moderate), caffeine (moderate) and cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (moderate) — and none of Risankizumab-Rzaa’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 Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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.

Overlapping uses

What Risankizumab-Rzaa Is Prescribed For, and What Panax Notoginseng Has Been Studied For

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

Risankizumab-Rzaa is prescribed for: Skyrizi (risankizumab-rzaa) injection is approved to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis in adults and children 6 years of age and older. It is also approved for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults. For plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, Skyrizi is given as a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection. For Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, Skyrizi treatment begins with intravenous (IV) infusions given in a clinical setting, followed by subcutaneous maintenance injections.

Panax Notoginseng has been studied for:

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

    Panax Notoginseng for ulcerative colitis

    Rectal Panax notoginseng has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients; its effect when used alone is unclear.

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 Risankizumab-Rzaa on your own; if you are taking Panax Notoginseng for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

This page covers Panax Notoginseng only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Risankizumab-Rzaa page lists 53 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Active Hexose Correlated Compound (ahcc) (moderate), Alfalfa (moderate), American Ginseng (moderate), Andrographis (moderate) and Ashwagandha (moderate).

By severity: 52 moderate · 1 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Risankizumab-Rzaa page

“Echinacea captures the concern on this page better than any other entry. Risankizumab-rzaa (Skyrizi) treats plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease by quieting one arm of the immune system, and echinacea, like nearly all 53 ingredients listed here, is taken specifically to stir the immune system up.”

About Panax Notoginseng

What is Panax Notoginseng?

Panax Notoginseng
  • Bleeding and bruising
  • Heart and circulation health
  • High blood pressure
  • Chest pain (angina)
  • Inflammation and swelling

Panax notoginseng (sanqi or tienchi ginseng) is a traditional Chinese herb most often used to help with bleeding, bruising, and circulation. Human evidence for these uses is limited and mostly early, so it should not replace proven treatments. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Taking Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Panax Notoginseng with Risankizumab-Rzaa?
We do not list a known interaction between Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa. 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 Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 5 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 Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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 Panax Notoginseng in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Risankizumab-Rzaa is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Panax Notoginseng and Risankizumab-Rzaa combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Risankizumab-Rzaa is filed under 1 classification, and Panax Notoginseng has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Risankizumab-Rzaa'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 Panax Notoginseng interact with any other medications?
Yes. Panax Notoginseng has 207 documented drug interactions in our database — Risankizumab-Rzaa 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 Risankizumab-Rzaa interact with any supplements?
Yes. Risankizumab-Rzaa has documented interactions with 53 supplements in our database — Panax Notoginseng is not one of them. The Risankizumab-Rzaa interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
