Drug & supplement interaction

Tylophora + Valbenazine Tosylate

Valbenazine Tosylate brand name: Ingrezza.

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

We found no known interaction between Tylophora and Valbenazine Tosylate 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.

Tylophora and Valbenazine Tosylate

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 Valbenazine Tosylate 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 Valbenazine Tosylate, 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.

Tylophora safety at a glance

Tylophora overall Use caution Evidence is limited and the plant can cause nausea, vomiting, and other side effects.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, and traditional concerns suggest it should be avoided in pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so it is best avoided.

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 Tylophora and Valbenazine Tosylate 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.

  • Vomiting / Nausea Additional detail

    Valbenazine Tosylate

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Valbenazine Tosylate. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Tylophora but not commonly for Valbenazine Tosylate: stomach pain, a change in taste and mouth irritation or sores.

Effects for Valbenazine Tosylate come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Tylophora come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 24,614 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Valbenazine Tosylate 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.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), Arsenic (major) and Beer (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Valbenazine Tosylate page

“The list for valbenazine (Ingrezza), the medicine for tardive dyskinesia, warrants genuine care, since 14 of its 216 supplement and herbal interactions are rated major. Most of those majors either pile extra sedation onto a drug that can already make people drowsy, alcohol being the everyday example, or shift how much valbenazine reach…”

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.

About Valbenazine

What Is Valbenazine Used For?

Brand name: Ingrezza

Valbenazine — sold as Ingrezza and INGREZZA Sprinkle — is approved for two conditions in adults. The first is tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder that causes uncontrolled, repetitive facial or body movements, often brought on by long-term use of certain psychiatric medications. The second is chorea associated with Huntington's disease, which refers to the involuntary, dance-like jerking movements that are a hallmark of that condition.

Both Ingrezza and INGREZZA Sprinkle are approved for both of these uses.

Taking Tylophora and Valbenazine Tosylate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Tylophora with Valbenazine Tosylate?

Do Tylophora and Valbenazine Tosylate have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.
