Drug & supplement interaction

Transfer Factor + Pregabalin

Pregabalin brand names: Lyrica, Lyrica CR.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Transfer Factor and Pregabalin 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.

Interaction report

Transfer Factor and Pregabalin

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 Pregabalin and Transfer Factor 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 Transfer Factor at all — not against Pregabalin, 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.

Transfer Factor safety at a glance

Transfer Factor overall Use caution Generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety and product quality are not well established.

Pregnancy Avoid Safety has not been established, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information exists, so avoid while breastfeeding.

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

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Transfer Factor and Pregabalin 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.

Fever Additional detail
Transfer Factor
“Orally or parenterally, transfer factor seems to be well tolerated. Adverse effects may include fever. Parenterally, transfer factor can cause nausea, fatigue, and tenderness, pain, and swelling at the injection site.”

Reported for Transfer Factor but not commonly for Pregabalin: acne.

Effects for Pregabalin come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Transfer Factor come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

This page covers Transfer Factor only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Pregabalin page lists 95 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pregabalin page

“Pregabalin (Lyrica) calms overactive nerves, which is how it eases nerve pain, seizures, and anxiety, and that calming action stacks with almost everything on this list. Of the 95 supplements and herbs, the large majority add their own sedation on top of pregabalin's, and a few can tip that into genuine danger, with deep sedation and s…”

About Transfer Factor

What is Transfer Factor?

Immune support
Preventing colds and infections
Allergies
General wellness
Chronic viral conditions

Transfer factors are small immune molecules taken from cow colostrum or egg yolk and sold as supplements meant to boost or 'train' the immune system. Solid human evidence for the supplement products is limited, and quality varies widely between brands. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using one, especially if you have an immune condition.

Small immune molecules (peptides) extracted from sources such as cow colostrum or hen egg yolk · Capsules, tablets, powders

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

Transfer Factor: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose for transfer factor supplements. Because products differ in how they are made and how concentrated they are, the right amount is hard to define.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount. They can help you decide if a product is appropriate and reasonable.

About Pregabalin

What Is Pregabalin Used For?

Brand names: Lyrica, Lyrica CR

Pregabalin is used to manage several types of nerve pain, including neuropathic pain from diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes) and postherpetic neuralgia (lingering nerve pain after shingles). It is also used to treat fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury.

Lyrica (capsule and oral solution), pregabalin capsules, and pregabalin oral solution are also approved as add-on therapy for partial-onset seizures — Lyrica for patients 1 month and older, and pregabalin capsules for patients 17 years and older. Lyrica CR and pregabalin extended-release tablets are approved only for diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain and postherpetic neuralgia — their effectiveness for fibromyalgia or as seizure add-on therapy has not been established.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Pregabalin

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (270,557 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 15,629 reports

Dizziness 14,844 reports

Nausea 14,507 reports

Headache 13,067 reports

Malaise 12,884 reports

Taking Transfer Factor and Pregabalin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Transfer Factor with Pregabalin?

We do not list a known interaction between Transfer Factor and Pregabalin. 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 Transfer Factor and Pregabalin have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 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.

Does Pregabalin interact with any supplements?

Yes. Pregabalin has documented interactions with 95 supplements in our database — Transfer Factor is not one of them. The Pregabalin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
