Drug & supplement interaction

Superoxide Dismutase (sod) + Thiothixene

Thiothixene brand name: Navane.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Superoxide Dismutase (sod) and Thiothixene 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 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.

Superoxide Dismutase (sod) and Thiothixene

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 Thiothixene and Superoxide Dismutase (sod) 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 Superoxide Dismutase (sod) at all — not against Thiothixene, 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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Superoxide Dismutase (sod) and Thiothixene 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

Effects for Thiothixene come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Superoxide Dismutase (sod) come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 218 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Thiothixene 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Thiothixene

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Indian Snakeroot (major), Rauvolfia Vomitoria (major), Alfalfa (moderate) and Angelica Archangelica (moderate).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Thiothixene page

“Activated charcoal is the entry to know first with thiothixene (Navane). It can bind the drug in the gut and carry it out of the body, and for an antipsychotic controlling psychotic symptoms, a dose that quietly disappears risks relapse.”

About Superoxide Dismutase (sod)

What is Superoxide Dismutase (sod)?

  • Antioxidant support
  • Anti-aging and skin health
  • Joint pain and arthritis
  • Exercise recovery and oxidative stress
  • General inflammation

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a natural antioxidant enzyme your body makes to help neutralize harmful free radicals. While it has clear biological importance, oral supplements may be broken down during digestion, and strong human evidence that taking SOD supplements improves health is limited. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant or have a health condition.

Enzyme sourced from plants (such as cantaloupe melon), bovine liver, or made by microbes; also produced naturally in the body · Capsules, tablets, topical creams, injectable forms (used in some research settings)

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

Superoxide Dismutase (sod): dosing
