Securinega Suffruticosa and Infliximab

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 Infliximab and Securinega Suffruticosa 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.

What to actually watch for

What Infliximab’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Securinega Suffruticosa. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Infliximab’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Joint pain mentioned in 16.7% of FDA reports for Infliximab
  • Chills
  • Flushing
  • Sore throat
  • Low blood pressure
  • Fever

Showing the 10 most notable of 13 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Infliximab. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 243,742 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Infliximab that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Securinega Suffruticosa’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Securinega Suffruticosa side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Securinega Suffruticosa has no side effects.

About Securinega Suffruticosa

What is Securinega Suffruticosa?

  • Nerve and muscle weakness
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Nerve-related conditions in traditional medicine
  • Childhood paralysis (historical traditional use)
  • General tonic

Securinega suffruticosa is a shrub used in traditional East Asian medicine, best known for an alkaloid called securinine that strongly stimulates the nervous system. Because securinine is powerful and can cause seizures and serious toxicity, this plant is not a safe or well-studied dietary supplement, and it should not be used for self-treatment. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before considering anything containing this plant.

Securinega suffruticosa · Phyllanthaceae · Leaves, twigs, and aerial parts (roots in some traditional preparations) · Dried herb decoction, tinctures, and isolated alkaloid extracts (mainly used in research settings)

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

Securinega Suffruticosa: dosing

There is no established, standardized safe dose of Securinega suffruticosa for use as a supplement. The plant's alkaloid content can vary, and the active compound securinine has a narrow margin between any effect and toxic effects.Because of these safety concerns, we cannot recommend a specific amount.
