Drug & supplement interaction

Rutin + Pretomanid

Pretomanid brand name: Pretomanid.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Rutin and Pretomanid 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 label for Pretomanid states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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

Rutin and Pretomanid

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 Pretomanid and Rutin 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 Pretomanid

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pretomanid is filed under 5 classifications — including immunosuppressants, qt interval-prolonging drugs, antibiotic drugs. Rutin has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Pretomanid’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 Rutin and Pretomanid 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.

Effects for Pretomanid come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Rutin come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 647 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pretomanid 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.

How to take them

Some Pretomanid Products Have a Food Rule — Rutin Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Pretomanid says to take it with food. If you take Rutin on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Pretomanid with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Pretomanid products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

Recommended Dosage Pretomanid Tablets must be administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid with food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Pretomanid — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pretomanid page

“Pretomanid is reserved for highly drug-resistant tuberculosis, and it can stress the liver and lengthen the heart's QT interval, so the supplements on this page deserve genuine care. Ten of the 143 ingredients on file carry a major rating, and nearly all of those either compound the liver risk (alcohol in beer or wine is the plainest e…”

About Rutin

What is Rutin?

  • Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Easy bruising and fragile capillaries
  • Swelling (edema) in the legs
  • General antioxidant support

Rutin is a plant flavonoid (often taken from buckwheat or citrus) that people use mainly for blood vessel and circulation problems like varicose veins and hemorrhoids. The evidence is limited and mostly preliminary, so it should not replace proven treatments. It is generally well tolerated, but talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

A flavonoid found in many plants, such as buckwheat, citrus fruits, apples, and tea · Tablets, capsules, powders, and combination supplements (sometimes with vitamin C or other bioflavonoids)

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

Rutin: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose of rutin. Different products contain different amounts, and rutin is often combined with other ingredients.Because a proven safe and effective dose has not been clearly established, the best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not take more than recommended.

About Pretomanid

What Is Pretomanid Used For?

Brand name: Pretomanid

Pretomanid Tablet is used only as part of a three-drug regimen — together with bedaquiline and linezolid — to treat adults with pulmonary (lung) tuberculosis that is resistant to multiple antibiotics, including isoniazid, rifamycins, a fluoroquinolone, and a second-line injectable TB drug. It is also used for adults whose TB is resistant to isoniazid and rifampin and who cannot tolerate or are not responding to standard TB therapy.

Pretomanid Tablets are not for drug-sensitive TB, latent (inactive) TB infection, TB outside the lungs, or TB that responds to standard treatment. They should only be used in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid — safety and effectiveness with other drug combinations have not been established.

Taking Rutin and Pretomanid Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Rutin with Pretomanid?
We do not list a known interaction between Rutin and Pretomanid. 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 Rutin and Pretomanid 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.
Should I take Rutin and Pretomanid at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Pretomanid says to take it with food. If you take Rutin on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Pretomanid with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Pretomanid products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Rutin and Pretomanid combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Pretomanid is filed under 5 classifications, and Rutin has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Pretomanid'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 Rutin interact with any other medications?
Yes. Rutin has 86 documented drug interactions in our database — Pretomanid 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 Pretomanid interact with any supplements?
Yes. Pretomanid has documented interactions with 143 supplements in our database — Rutin is not one of them. The Pretomanid interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
