Resveratrol and Mometasone, formoterol

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Resveratrol interacts with whole categories of medication. Mometasone, formoterol falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Resveratrol in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) SUBSTRATES

1 of 2

Why this applies to Mometasone, formoterol

Mometasone, formoterol falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) SUBSTRATES — the group Resveratrol interacts with.

Theoretically, resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro research shows that resveratrol can inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Here's the honest version: this flag comes from the idea that resveratrol can slow down a liver enzyme called CYP2C19, which might let drugs cleared by that enzyme build up a bit. But Zenhale (mometasone plus formoterol) is an inhaler, and it isn't mainly handled by CYP2C19. Mometasone is processed largely by a different enzyme (CYP3A4), and inhaled doses act mostly in your lungs with very little reaching the bloodstream.

So for this specific combination, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. The concern is theoretical and based only on lab studies, with nothing reported in real people. If you ever notice extra jitteriness, a fast or pounding heartbeat, or tremor, mention it. And before starting resveratrol, just run it by your pharmacist or doctor.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

Mometasone, formoterol also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.

Theoretically, resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that resveratrol can inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme. However, clinical research shows that taking resveratrol 3000 mg daily for 8 weeks does not necessitate dose adjustments to medications metabolized by CYP3A4.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Your Zenhale inhaler combines two medicines, and both mometasone (a steroid) and formoterol (a long-acting bronchodilator) are partly cleared by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. In lab dishes, resveratrol can slow this enzyme down a bit. The thinking is that if it slowed clearance in your body too, slightly more of these drugs could linger, which in theory might nudge up side effects like a fast or pounding heartbeat, jitteriness, or tremor from the formoterol.

Here's the reassuring part: this concern comes only from test-tube work, not real people. In fact, a human study using a hefty 3000 mg of resveratrol daily for 8 weeks showed no need to adjust CYP3A4 medicines. So for most folks this is very unlikely to cause trouble. Still, it's worth a quick mention to your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you notice new heart racing or shakiness.

What These Ratings Mean

Every interaction above is graded three ways — here’s the key to each label.

Severity how clinically significant the interaction is
Major

Clinically significant. Avoid the combination, or use only under close professional supervision.

Moderate

Usually worth avoiding or managing — may need monitoring, a dose change, or timing apart.

Minor

Generally not serious. Be aware of it and mention it to your pharmacist.

Likelihood how strong the evidence is that the interaction actually happens in people
  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Evidence the quality of the studies behind the rating (graded A–D)
  • AHigh-quality meta-analysis (quantitative systematic review).
  • BCase-control study.
  • CConsensus.
  • DAnecdotal evidence.

These ratings are for information only. Never start, stop, or otherwise change your therapy before speaking with your provider.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mometasone, formoterol page

“Mometasone and formoterol (Zenhale) is an inhaled asthma controller, a steroid paired with a long-acting airway opener, and its supplement list calls for real vigilance rather than a shrug. Nearly everything on it acts on the liver enzymes that break these medicines down, chiefly one called CYP3A4.”

About Resveratrol

What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol
  • Heart and blood vessel health
  • Antioxidant support
  • Anti-aging
  • Blood sugar and metabolic support
  • General anti-inflammatory support

Resveratrol is a plant compound found in red grapes, berries, and peanuts that is popular for heart health, anti-aging, and antioxidant support. While lab and animal studies are promising, strong human evidence for most uses is still limited. It appears generally well tolerated in supplement doses, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it.
