Drug & supplement interaction

Tannic Acid + Risankizumab-Rzaa

Risankizumab-Rzaa brand name: Skyrizi.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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.

Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa

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 Risankizumab-Rzaa and Tannic Acid 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 Tannic Acid at all — not against Risankizumab-Rzaa, 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 Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa 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.

  • Liver problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    Tannic Acid

    “Orally, large amounts of tannic acid can cause gastric irritation, nausea, and vomiting (11). Extensive use of tannins on burns or in enemas has been associated with fatal liver damage (11). However, this toxicity may be due to digallic acid, an impurity that is sometimes found in tannic acid (11).”

Overlapping uses

What Risankizumab-Rzaa Is Prescribed For, and What Tannic Acid Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Risankizumab-Rzaa is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Tannic Acid is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Risankizumab-Rzaa is prescribed for: Skyrizi (risankizumab-rzaa) injection is approved to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis in adults and children 6 years of age and older. It is also approved for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults. For plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, Skyrizi is given as a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection. For Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, Skyrizi treatment begins with intravenous (IV) infusions given in a clinical setting, followed by subcutaneous maintenance injections.

Tannic Acid has been studied for:

  • Diarrhea studied, not established Tannic Acid has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Tannic Acid for diarrhea

    Research on the use of gelatin tannate (tannic acid suspended in a gelatin solution) for the treatment of diarrhea due to acute gastroenteritis is conflicting. A small clinical study in children 3 months to 6 years of age with acute gastroenteritis shows that taking gelatin tannate 250-500 mg four times daily for 5 days in combination with oral rehydration solution (ORS), starting within 3 days of symptom presentatio…

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Risankizumab-Rzaa on your own; if you are taking Tannic Acid for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Risankizumab-Rzaa page

“Echinacea captures the concern on this page better than any other entry. Risankizumab-rzaa (Skyrizi) treats plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease by quieting one arm of the immune system, and echinacea, like nearly all 53 ingredients listed here, is taken specifically to stir the immune system up.”

About Tannic Acid

What is Tannic Acid?

  • Minor skin irritation and weeping rashes
  • Sore throat and mouth sores
  • Minor burns and blisters
  • Astringent for skin
  • Hemorrhoids

Tannic acid is a plant-derived astringent used mostly on the skin and in the mouth to dry out and tighten tissue. There is some traditional and topical use, but high-quality evidence for most uses is limited, and it can be harmful if too much is absorbed, especially on broken skin or burns.

Tannins extracted from plant sources such as oak galls, bark, and certain seeds and leaves · Topical powders and solutions, throat lozenges, gargles, suppositories, and some over-the-counter skin products

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

Tannic Acid: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose of tannic acid for supplement use. The amount varies widely depending on the product and how it is used (for example, a skin solution versus a lozenge).The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not apply it to large areas of broken or burned skin.

Taking Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Tannic Acid with Risankizumab-Rzaa?
We do not list a known interaction between Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa. 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 Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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.
Are Tannic Acid and Risankizumab-Rzaa used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Tannic Acid in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Risankizumab-Rzaa is being adjusted to a target.
Does Risankizumab-Rzaa interact with any supplements?
Yes. Risankizumab-Rzaa has documented interactions with 53 supplements in our database — Tannic Acid is not one of them. The Risankizumab-Rzaa interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
