Drug & supplement interaction

Psilocybin + Rivaroxaban

Rivaroxaban brand name: Xarelto.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban 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

Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban

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 Rivaroxaban and Psilocybin 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.

Psilocybin safety at a glance

Psilocybin overall Avoid Psilocybin is a controlled substance with powerful mind-altering effects and is not a safe or legal dietary supplement.

Pregnancy Avoid There is no safety data; avoid during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding Avoid There is no safety data; avoid while breastfeeding.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Rivaroxaban

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Rivaroxaban is filed under 5 classifications — including anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs, p-glycoprotein substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Psilocybin has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being serotonergic drugs (moderate) and stimulant drugs (moderate) — and none of Rivaroxaban’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.

Keep it in perspective

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban 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 taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

Vomiting Additional detail
Psilocybin
“Orally, single doses of psilocybin have resulted in nausea, and rarely, vomiting and diarrhea. Analysis from a large clinical trial that evaluated single doses of psilocybin 1 mg, 10 mg, and 25 mg suggests that for every 5 patients treated with psilocybin 25 mg over psilocybin 1 mg, one additional case of nausea will occur.”

Rivaroxaban

Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Rivaroxaban. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Psilocybin but not commonly for Rivaroxaban: a heart attack, a slow heartbeat, dependence or withdrawal symptoms and mood changes or irritability.

Effects for Rivaroxaban come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Psilocybin come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 205,037 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Rivaroxaban 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Rivaroxaban

This page covers Psilocybin only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Rivaroxaban 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 Rivaroxaban page

“Grapefruit is the interaction I would flag first for anyone taking rivaroxaban (Xarelto). It slows how the body clears this blood thinner, and higher levels mean more bleeding risk.”

About Psilocybin

What is Psilocybin?

Depression
Anxiety (including in serious illness)
Substance use disorders
Post-traumatic stress
Spiritual or psychological exploration

Psilocybin is a powerful psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms and is being studied for hard-to-treat depression, anxiety, and addiction, but it is still investigational and not an approved supplement. It is illegal in most places, can cause intense and unpredictable mental effects, and should never be used outside of a supervised clinical setting.

Psilocybin is a compound found in certain mushrooms (often called 'magic mushrooms') · Dried mushrooms, capsules, isolated/synthetic psilocybin (used in clinical trials)

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

Psilocybin: dosing

There is no established, safe over-the-counter dose of psilocybin. In research studies, doses are carefully measured, purified, and given under medical supervision with psychological support before, during, and after.Mushroom strength varies widely, so there is no reliable way to know how much you are taking from wild or non-medical sources. Because psilocybin is illegal in most places and can cause strong reactions, we cannot recommend any home dose.

About Rivaroxaban

What Is Rivaroxaban Used For?

Brand name: Xarelto

Rivaroxaban tablets are used to reduce the risk of stroke in adults with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm), treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT, a blood clot in a vein) and pulmonary embolism (PE, a blood clot in the lungs), and lower the chances of these clots coming back. They also help prevent clots after hip or knee replacement surgery, protect hospitalized patients at risk for clots, and — in combination with aspirin — reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Rivaroxaban tablets are also approved for treating VTE (venous thromboembolism, blood clots in veins) and preventing recurrence in pediatric patients from birth to under 18 years, and for preventing clots in children aged 2 and older with congenital heart disease after the Fontan procedure. Rivaroxaban for oral suspension (available as Rivaroxaban Granule and Xarelto oral suspension) is specifically indicated for these two pediatric uses.

Taking Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Psilocybin with Rivaroxaban?

We do not list a known interaction between Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban. 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 Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban 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.

How was the Psilocybin and Rivaroxaban combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Rivaroxaban is filed under 5 classifications, and Psilocybin has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Rivaroxaban'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 Psilocybin interact with any other medications?

Yes. Psilocybin has 293 documented drug interactions in our database — Rivaroxaban 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 Rivaroxaban interact with any supplements?

Yes. Rivaroxaban has documented interactions with 285 supplements in our database — Psilocybin is not one of them. The Rivaroxaban interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
