The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Raspberry Ketone and Baricitinib 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.

Interaction report

Raspberry Ketone and Baricitinib

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 Baricitinib and Raspberry Ketone 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.

Raspberry Ketone safety at a glance

Raspberry Ketone overall Use caution Used in foods safely, but human safety data for high supplement doses is very limited.

Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid concentrated supplements during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information; avoid supplement use 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 Baricitinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Baricitinib is filed under 3 classifications — organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates, hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Raspberry Ketone has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being stimulant drugs (moderate) and warfarin (coumadin) (moderate) — and none of Baricitinib’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

What Raspberry Ketone Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Baricitinib. It is the side-effect record for Raspberry Ketone on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Raspberry Ketone, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

An irregular heartbeat / Raised blood pressure Worth acting on Additional detail
“Structurally, raspberry ketone resembles synephrine, a known stimulant agent. Although not well studied in humans, stimulant-related side effects are possible. Orally, cases of heart palpitations, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, coronary vasospasm are reported after taking raspberry ketone.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Raspberry Ketone — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Baricitinib’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Baricitinib column appears here.

Overlapping uses

What Baricitinib Is Prescribed For, and What Raspberry Ketone Has Been Studied For

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

Baricitinib is prescribed for: Olumiant (baricitinib) tablets are approved for three conditions in adults. It treats moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in people who haven't responded well enough to one or more TNF blocker medications. It also treats severe alopecia areata (significant hair loss from an autoimmune condition). Olumiant is additionally approved to treat COVID-19 in hospitalized adults who need supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, or ECMO (a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs).

Read the rest of what Baricitinib is prescribed for

Each use has specific limitations — for example, Olumiant should not be combined with other JAK inhibitors or certain strong immunosuppressants for rheumatoid arthritis or alopecia areata.

Raspberry Ketone has been studied for:

Alopecia areata studied, not established Raspberry Ketone has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

Raspberry Ketone for alopecia areata

It is unclear if raspberry ketone is beneficial for alopecia areata.

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 Baricitinib on your own; if you are taking Raspberry Ketone for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

This page covers Raspberry Ketone only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Baricitinib page lists 59 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Wine (major) and African Wild Potato (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 46 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Baricitinib page

“Liver strain dominates this page. Baricitinib (Olumiant), a JAK inhibitor for rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia areata, can raise liver enzymes on its own, so I'd approach these combinations warily, since nearly two thirds of the listed supplements carry their own record of liver injury, and ordinary beer and wine sit among the highest…”

About Raspberry Ketone

What is Raspberry Ketone?

Weight loss
Fat burning
Boosting metabolism
Appetite support
General 'fat-burner' supplement

Raspberry ketone is a natural aroma compound found in red raspberries that is heavily marketed for weight loss, but there is no good human evidence that it helps people lose weight. Most claims come from lab and animal studies using doses far higher than what you could get from food or typical supplements. If you choose to try it, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first.

Fruit-derived aromatic compound (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one) · Capsules, tablets, softgels, powders, often combined with other weight-loss ingredients

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

Raspberry Ketone: dosing

There is no established or proven effective dose of raspberry ketone for weight loss or any other use. The amounts found in supplements vary widely from product to product.If you decide to try it, follow the directions on the product label and do not take more than recommended. Because supplements are not tightly regulated, the actual amount in a product may differ from what is listed, and quality can vary between brands.Before starting, it is a good idea to review the full ingredient list with your pharmacist, especially since many products contain caffeine or other added stimulants.

Taking Raspberry Ketone and Baricitinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Raspberry Ketone with Baricitinib?

We do not list a known interaction between Raspberry Ketone and Baricitinib. 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.

Are Raspberry Ketone and Baricitinib 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 Raspberry Ketone in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Baricitinib is being adjusted to a target.

How was the Raspberry Ketone and Baricitinib combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Baricitinib is filed under 3 classifications, and Raspberry Ketone has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Baricitinib'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 Raspberry Ketone interact with any other medications?

Yes. Raspberry Ketone has 174 documented drug interactions in our database — Baricitinib 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 Baricitinib interact with any supplements?

Yes. Baricitinib has documented interactions with 59 supplements in our database — Raspberry Ketone is not one of them. The Baricitinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
