Prolotherapy and Uridine Triacetate

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

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Prolotherapy at all — not against Uridine Triacetate, 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.

Prolotherapy 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.

Prolotherapy safety at a glance

Prolotherapy overall Use caution Generally considered low-risk when performed by a trained clinician, but it is an invasive injection with possible side effects.
Pregnancy Avoid Not recommended during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and the use of injections and anesthetics.
Breastfeeding Use caution Safety has not been well studied; discuss with your doctor before considering it.

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

What to actually watch for

What Uridine Triacetate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Prolotherapy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Uridine Triacetate’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you have Prolotherapy and take the medicine.

  • Diarrhea mentioned in 15.2% of FDA reports for Uridine Triacetate
  • Vomiting mentioned in 15.2% of FDA reports for Uridine Triacetate
  • Nausea mentioned in 8.7% of FDA reports for Uridine Triacetate

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Uridine Triacetate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 138 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Uridine Triacetate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Prolotherapy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Prolotherapy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Prolotherapy has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Uridine Triacetate page

“Uridine triacetate is a drug you take when absorption truly cannot fail, whether as Vistogard, the emergency antidote for fluorouracil or capecitabine overdose, or as Xuriden for hereditary orotic aciduria. That is why the 17 supplement interactions on file deserve real care rather than a shrug.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Prolotherapy is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Prolotherapy reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Prolotherapy and Uridine Triacetate records this page draws on were last updated June 20, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Prolotherapy

What is Prolotherapy?

  • Chronic low back pain
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Tendon and ligament pain
  • Joint instability
  • Tennis elbow and other tendinopathies

Prolotherapy is not a dietary supplement or herb; it is an injection procedure in which an irritant solution (usually dextrose) is injected near painful joints, tendons, or ligaments to encourage a healing response. The evidence is mixed and generally low-to-moderate quality, with some studies showing modest pain relief for conditions like knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain. It should only be done by a trained, licensed clinician, so talk with your doctor before considering it.

Not applicable (a medical injection procedure) · Injected solution, most often dextrose (sugar water) mixed with a local anesthetic

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

Prolotherapy: dosing

There is no single standard dose or protocol for prolotherapy. The type of solution (most often dextrose), the concentration, the amount injected, the number of injection sites, and how many sessions are needed all vary based on the clinician, the body area, and the condition being treated.Treatment is usually given as a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart.

About Uridine Triacetate

What Is Uridine Triacetate Used For?

Brand names: Xuriden, Vistogard

Uridine triacetate is available as two different products for two distinct uses. Vistogard is used for emergency treatment after an overdose of the chemotherapy drugs fluorouracil or capecitabine — or when someone develops severe, early, or life-threatening side effects from those drugs (such as heart or nervous system problems, severe digestive reactions, or a dangerous drop in white blood cells) within 96 hours of their last dose.

Xuriden is used to treat hereditary orotic aciduria, a rare inherited condition in which the body cannot make enough of a building block called uridine, causing a buildup of orotic acid and problems with blood cell production and other body functions. Both products are approved for adults and children.
