Drug & supplement interaction

Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound + Lansoprazole

Lansoprazole brand name: Prevacid.

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 Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole 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.

Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole

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 Lansoprazole and Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound 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 Lansoprazole

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lansoprazole is filed under 5 classifications — including proton pump inhibitors (ppis), cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inducers, cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) substrates. Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being immunosuppressants (moderate) — and none of Lansoprazole’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lansoprazole page

“Heartburn and reflux send plenty of people toward both lansoprazole (Prevacid) and the supplement aisle, and that pairing calls for genuine care, since three of the 153 ingredients on file here carry major-rated interactions. Most of the list works through the liver enzymes that clear lansoprazole, either slowing them down (grapefruit,…”

About Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound

What is Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound?

  • Immune support
  • Support during cancer treatment
  • Boosting natural killer (NK) cell activity
  • General wellness in older adults
  • Fatigue and quality of life support

Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound (often sold under brand names like MGN-3 or BioBran) is a processed fiber from rice bran treated with mushroom enzymes, marketed mainly as an immune booster. Early small studies suggest it may affect certain immune cells, but high-quality human evidence is very limited, and it should never replace standard medical care. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially during cancer treatment.

Poaceae · Rice bran (outer layer of Oryza sativa), modified with enzymes from shiitake mushroom · Capsules, tablets, powder, granules

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

Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound: dosing

About Lansoprazole

What Is Lansoprazole Used For?

Brand name: Prevacid

Lansoprazole is prescribed for a range of conditions where excess stomach acid is the problem. It treats active stomach and duodenal ulcers (sores in the stomach or upper small intestine), helps heal ulcers caused by NSAID pain relievers, and can reduce the risk of those ulcers coming back.

It's also used for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis (acid damage to the esophagus), and rare conditions where the stomach makes far too much acid — like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. When combined with antibiotics, it helps wipe out H. pylori bacteria that cause recurring ulcers.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Lansoprazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (177,063 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Chronic kidney disease 32,791 reports
Acute kidney injury 18,792 reports
Renal failure 13,844 reports
End stage renal disease 9,798 reports
Renal injury 9,520 reports

Taking Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound with Lansoprazole?
We do not list a known interaction between Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole. 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 Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole 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 Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound and Lansoprazole combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Lansoprazole is filed under 5 classifications, and Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Lansoprazole'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 Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound interact with any other medications?
Yes. Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound has 121 documented drug interactions in our database — Lansoprazole 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 Lansoprazole interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lansoprazole has documented interactions with 153 supplements in our database — Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound is not one of them. The Lansoprazole interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
