Tylophora + Omalizumab
Omalizumab brand name: Xolair.
We found no known interaction between Tylophora and Omalizumab 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.
Tylophora and Omalizumab
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 Omalizumab and Tylophora 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 Tylophora at all — not against Omalizumab, 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 Omalizumab Is Prescribed For, and What Tylophora Has Been Studied For
These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Omalizumab is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Tylophora is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.
Omalizumab is prescribed for: Xolair is used for several allergy-driven conditions. It treats moderate to severe persistent asthma in adults and children 6 and older whose symptoms aren't controlled by inhaled steroids alone and who test positive for a year-round airborne allergen. It is also used as an add-on maintenance treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ongoing sinus inflammation with polyp growths) in adults 18 and older who haven't responded well to nasal corticosteroids. Xolair is also approved to reduce allergic reactions — including anaphylaxis — from accidental food exposure in adults and children aged 1 and older with IgE-mediated food allergy.
Read the rest of what Omalizumab is prescribed for
It must be used alongside strict food avoidance, and it is not a substitute for emergency treatment like epinephrine. Finally, Xolair treats chronic spontaneous urticaria (persistent hives with no identified trigger) in adults and adolescents 12 and older who still have symptoms despite antihistamine treatment.
Tylophora has been studied for:

Asthma studied, not established Tylophora has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows
Tylophora for asthma
There is contradictory evidence about the effectiveness of Tylophora for asthma. Preliminary clinical research suggests that placing Tylophora extract containing total alkaloids 0.5 mg in 0.5 grams glucose on the tongue and then swallowing, followed by a 1-2 hour bed rest without food daily for 6 days, or taking Tylophora extract 40 mg daily for 6 days, appears to improve symptoms of asthma.

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 Omalizumab on your own; if you are taking Tylophora for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.
See Every Supplement That Interacts With Omalizumab
This page covers Tylophora only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Omalizumab page lists 53 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Active Hexose Correlated Compound (ahcc) (moderate), Alfalfa (moderate), American Ginseng (moderate), Andrographis (moderate) and Ashwagandha (moderate).
By severity: 52 moderate · 1 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Omalizumab page
“None of the 53 supplements on file for omalizumab (Xolair) carries a major rating, so this is a list to read with steady attention rather than alarm. Xolair treats allergic asthma and chronic hives by calming part of the immune system, and every entry here pulls the other way: these are immune-stimulating products, echinacea and astrag…”

About Tylophora
What is Tylophora?
- Asthma
- Allergies and hay fever
- Bronchitis and respiratory complaints
- Inflammatory conditions
- Digestive upset
Tylophora is a climbing plant used in traditional Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine, most often for asthma and breathing problems. Some older, small studies suggested possible benefit for asthma, but the evidence is weak and limited, and the plant can cause notable side effects. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and never use it to replace proven asthma treatments.
Tylophora indica · Apocynaceae · Leaves and roots · Capsules, dried leaf powder, tinctures, and traditional leaf preparations
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Tylophora is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Tylophora record says about it on its own.
Tylophora: dosing
There is no well-established or standardized dose for Tylophora. Older studies used small amounts of dried leaf for short periods, but these doses have not been confirmed as safe or effective.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.
