Sodium Tetrachloroaurate and Lixisenatide

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 Lixisenatide and Sodium Tetrachloroaurate 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 Sodium Tetrachloroaurate at all — not against Lixisenatide, 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.

What to actually watch for

What Sodium Tetrachloroaurate Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Lixisenatide. It is the side-effect record for Sodium Tetrachloroaurate on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Sodium Tetrachloroaurate, this list is the first place to look. 4 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally and parenterally, gold salts have been associated with slight elevations in serum aminotransferase levels. Parenterally, gold salts have also been associated with acute liver injury, although this is less common. Onset of injury seems to occur 1-8 weeks after starting therapy. Initial symptoms of liver injury include fever, rash, malaise, nausea, dark urine, and jaundice.”

  • A low platelet count / Anemia / A low white blood cell count Worth acting on Additional detail

    “No adverse effects have been reported; however, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted. Sodium tetrachloroaurate contains gold and might cause adverse effects similar to other gold salts. Orally, gold salts have been reported to cause gastrointestinal side effects, including diarrhea, loose stools, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.”

These adverse effects are typically mild, but may become severe and chronic if treatment is not discontinued after onset of the reaction.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lixisenatide page

“Lixisenatide (Adlyxin) is injected to lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, and nearly everything on this page acts on blood sugar too, which is why I would treat the list with genuine care rather than a shrug. Most of the entries, from bitter melon and fenugreek to both types of ginseng, can push glucose lower still and raise the odds…”

About Sodium Tetrachloroaurate

What is Sodium Tetrachloroaurate?

  • Used in chemistry as a source of gold
  • Gold nanoparticle synthesis (research)
  • Electroplating and gold chemistry
  • Marketed by some sellers as a 'colloidal gold' precursor

Sodium tetrachloroaurate is a gold(III) chemical compound used in laboratories and industry, not a dietary supplement or herb. It is not approved or recommended for human use, and ingesting it can be harmful. Do not take it as a supplement.

Not a plant; this is a chemical gold(III) compound · Laboratory reagent solution; not sold as a dietary supplement

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

About Lixisenatide Injection

What Is Lixisenatide Injection Used For?

Brand name: Adlyxin

  • Lixisenatide injection is used along with diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Lixisenatide injection is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Lixisenatide is not used instead of insulin to treat people with diabetes who need insulin. Lixisenatide injection is in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. It works by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Lixisenatide injection also slows the emptying of the stomach and causes a decrease in appetite.

  • Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems. Using medication(s), making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.

  • Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with lixisenatide injection and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm085729.htm) to obtain the Medication Guide.
