Medically reviewed by · Updated June 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Teazle and Ketoprofen 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 Ketoprofen states a food rule worth keeping to.

Teazle and Ketoprofen

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 Ketoprofen and Teazle 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.

Teazle safety at a glance

Teazle overall Not established Human safety data are very limited, so its safety profile is not well established.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety information, so it is best to avoid use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid use to be cautious.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ketoprofen

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ketoprofen is filed under 8 classifications — including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs, organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates. Teazle has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticholinergic drugs (moderate) and cholinergic drugs (moderate) — and none of Ketoprofen’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.

What Ketoprofen’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Teazle. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ketoprofen’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 62 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 Ketoprofen. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 13,040 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ketoprofen that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Teazle’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Teazle side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Teazle has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Ketoprofen Products Have a Food Rule — Teazle Should Not Break It

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

Although food delays the absorption of both formulations (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ) in most of the clinical trials ketoprofen was taken with food or milk.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ketoprofen — 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 Ketoprofen

This page covers Teazle only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Ketoprofen page lists 252 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Asarabacca (major), Beer (major), Danshen (major) and Piracetam (major).

By severity: 7 major · 217 moderate · 28 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ketoprofen page

“Bleeding is what worries me most with ketoprofen (Orudis, Oruvail Gel). As an NSAID, it already irritates the stomach lining and slows clotting, and 202 of the 252 supplements and herbs on this page can push that bleeding risk further.”

About Teazle

What is Teazle?

Teazle
  • Lyme disease (folk use)
  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Skin conditions such as psoriasis
  • Wound healing

Teazle (Dipsacus fullonum) is a spiky plant used in traditional and folk medicine, most notably as a tincture marketed for Lyme disease and for joint pain and skin problems. There is very little high-quality human research to support any of these uses, so its benefits remain unproven. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and never use it to replace standard treatment for serious infections like Lyme disease.

Dipsacus fullonum · Caprifoliaceae · Root, leaves, and aerial parts · Tincture, tea, capsules, dried root, topical preparations

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

Teazle: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for teazle. Dosing in folk traditions varies widely, and products such as tinctures and capsules differ in strength.If you choose to try a teazle product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Ketoprofen

What Is Ketoprofen Used For?

Brand names: Orudis, Oruvail Gel, Powergel, Oruvail Injection

Ketoprofen capsules (including the brand Orudis) are used to manage the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, to treat pain, and to treat primary dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods).

Ketoprofen extended-release capsules are approved for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis only. Because of the way they slowly release the drug, ketoprofen extended-release capsules are not recommended for treating acute (sudden) pain.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ketoprofen

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (13,040 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Headache 1,232 reports
Fatigue 932 reports
Nausea 799 reports

Should I take Teazle and Ketoprofen at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Ketoprofen says to take it with food. If you take Teazle on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Ketoprofen with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Ketoprofen products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Teazle and Ketoprofen combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Ketoprofen is filed under 8 classifications, and Teazle has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Ketoprofen'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.

Yes. Teazle has 219 documented drug interactions in our database — Ketoprofen is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
