Drug & supplement interaction

Soy + Uridine Triacetate

Uridine Triacetate brand names: Xuriden, Vistogard.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Soy and Uridine Triacetate 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 Uridine Triacetate 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

Soy and Uridine Triacetate

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 Uridine Triacetate and Soy 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 Uridine Triacetate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Uridine Triacetate is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. Soy has documented interactions with 12 drug classes — the most serious being monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois) (major), antidiabetes drugs (moderate) and antihypertensive drugs (moderate) — and none of Uridine Triacetate’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.

Keep it in perspective

Soy Does Interact With Other Medications

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Soy and Uridine Triacetate May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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.

Diarrhea / Nausea reported in 15.2% of FDA reports for Uridine Triacetate Additional detail
Soy
“Gastrointestinal upset, such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and nausea are the most common side effects of soy. Reports of "bad taste" and taste intolerance have also been documented in clinical research. Firmer stools, diarrhea, colitis, and intestinal mucosal damage has been reported in infants fed soy protein formula.”

Uridine Triacetate

Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Uridine Triacetate, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Soy but not commonly for Uridine Triacetate: stomach upset, a change in thyroid levels, memory problems and an allergic reaction.

Effects for Uridine Triacetate come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Soy come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 138 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Uridine Triacetate 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.

Special populations

Soy in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Likely Safe

When used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.

Pregnancy Possibly Unsafe

When used orally in medicinal amounts. Soy contains mildly estrogenic constituents. Theoretically, therapeutic use of soy might adversely affect fetal development; avoid using.

Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. A single 20-gram dose of roasted soybeans, containing 37 mg isoflavones, produces four to six times less isoflavones in breast milk than provided in a soy-based infant formula. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of long-term use of therapeutic amounts of soy during lactation.

How to take them

Some Uridine Triacetate Products Have a Food Rule — Soy Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Uridine Triacetate says to take it with food. If you take Soy on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Uridine Triacetate 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 Uridine Triacetate 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.

Administer the dose with food (applesauce, pudding or yogurt) or in milk or infant formula.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Uridine Triacetate — 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Uridine Triacetate

This page covers Soy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Uridine Triacetate page lists 17 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Uridine Triacetate page

“Uridine triacetate is a drug you take when absorption truly cannot fail, whether as Vistogard, the emergency antidote for fluorouracil or capecitabine overdose, or as Xuriden for hereditary orotic aciduria. That is why the 17 supplement interactions on file deserve real care rather than a shrug.”

About Soy

What is Soy?

Menopause symptoms (hot flashes)
Heart and cholesterol health
Bone health
Plant-based protein source
General nutrition

Soy is a nutritious bean that is a staple food and a popular source of plant protein and isoflavones. Eating soy foods as part of a balanced diet is generally considered safe for most people, and there is moderate evidence it may modestly help cholesterol and some menopause symptoms, though results vary. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated soy isoflavone supplements, especially if you have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions.

Glycine max · Fabaceae · Bean (seed) · Whole soybeans, soy milk, tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy protein powder, isoflavone capsules, soy lecithin

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

Soy: dosing

There is no single official dose of soy for any health condition. Amounts used in studies vary widely, and a standardized supplement dose has not been firmly established.As a food, soy is simply part of a normal diet. For supplements such as isoflavone capsules or soy protein powder, follow the directions on the product label.

About Uridine Triacetate

What Is Uridine Triacetate Used For?

Brand names: Xuriden, Vistogard

Uridine triacetate is available as two different products for two distinct uses. Vistogard is used for emergency treatment after an overdose of the chemotherapy drugs fluorouracil or capecitabine — or when someone develops severe, early, or life-threatening side effects from those drugs (such as heart or nervous system problems, severe digestive reactions, or a dangerous drop in white blood cells) within 96 hours of their last dose.

Xuriden is used to treat hereditary orotic aciduria, a rare inherited condition in which the body cannot make enough of a building block called uridine, causing a buildup of orotic acid and problems with blood cell production and other body functions. Both products are approved for adults and children.

Taking Soy and Uridine Triacetate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Soy with Uridine Triacetate?

We do not list a known interaction between Soy and Uridine Triacetate. 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 Soy and Uridine Triacetate have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 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 Soy and Uridine Triacetate at the same time of day?

At least one FDA label for a product containing Uridine Triacetate says to take it with food. If you take Soy on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Uridine Triacetate with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Uridine Triacetate products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.

How was the Soy and Uridine Triacetate combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Uridine Triacetate is filed under 1 classification, and Soy has documented interactions with 12 drug classes — none of Uridine Triacetate'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 Soy interact with any other medications?

Yes. Soy has 611 documented drug interactions in our database — Uridine Triacetate 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 Uridine Triacetate interact with any supplements?

Yes. Uridine Triacetate has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Soy is not one of them. The Uridine Triacetate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
