Snake Skin and Tedizolid Phosphate

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 Tedizolid Phosphate and Snake Skin 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Snake Skin at all — not against Tedizolid Phosphate, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

Snake Skin safety at a glance

Snake Skin overall Not established Modern safety and quality data are very limited, and contamination is a real concern with animal-derived products.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information exists, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What Tedizolid Phosphate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Snake Skin. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Tedizolid Phosphate’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Serotonin syndrome Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on mentioned in 6.4% of FDA reports for Tedizolid Phosphate
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Flushing
  • Blurred vision

Showing the 10 most notable of 21 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 Tedizolid Phosphate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 785 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Tedizolid Phosphate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Snake Skin’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Snake Skin side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Snake Skin has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tedizolid Phosphate page

“Nearly every supplement interaction on file for tedizolid phosphate (Sivextro), an antibiotic used for serious skin infections, points the same way. The antibiotic can kill the live organisms in probiotic products, which weakens the probiotic, not the drug.”

About Snake Skin

What is Snake Skin?

  • Skin conditions and itching
  • Eye complaints (traditional use)
  • Childhood convulsions (traditional use)
  • Sore throat
  • Wound and boil care (topical, traditional)

Snake skin (the shed slough of snakes, called 'She Tui' in Traditional Chinese Medicine) is a folk remedy mainly used for skin and eye complaints. There is very little modern scientific research to confirm any benefit, and safety has not been well studied, so use it cautiously and only after talking with a knowledgeable healthcare provider.

Shed skin (slough) of snakes; in Traditional Chinese Medicine often from species such as Elaphe (snake slough, 'She Tui') · Dried slough used in decoctions, powders, and topical preparations; sometimes found in combination herbal formulas

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

Snake Skin: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for snake skin. Traditional formulas vary widely, and modern research has not defined a safe and effective amount.If you choose to use a product that contains snake skin, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.
