The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Urine Therapy and Azacitidine 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.

Urine Therapy and Azacitidine

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 Azacitidine and Urine Therapy 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 Urine Therapy at all — not against Azacitidine, 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 Azacitidine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Urine Therapy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Azacitidine’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.

  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Azacitidine. Read the label on DailyMed › Urine Therapy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Urine Therapy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Urine Therapy has no side effects.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Azacitidine

This page covers Urine Therapy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Azacitidine page lists 17 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Azacitidine page

“Azacitidine treats myelodysplastic syndromes and certain leukemias, and if you take the oral form (Onureg), every one of the 17 supplements on this page can change how much of the medicine actually reaches your blood. With a cancer drug, an underdosed pill can mean less control of the disease, so treat this list with genuine care.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Urine Therapy is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Urine Therapy reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Urine Therapy and Azacitidine records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Urine Therapy

What is Urine Therapy?

  • General wellness and detox beliefs
  • Skin conditions
  • Wound or rash care
  • Allergies
  • Cancer (alternative use)
  • Infections

Urine therapy is a practice of drinking or applying one's own urine, promoted in some traditional and alternative health circles. There is no reliable scientific evidence that it treats or prevents any disease, and drinking urine can cause harm. We do not recommend it.

Human urine (one's own) · Drinking fresh urine, skin application, gargling, eye or ear drops

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

Urine Therapy: dosing

There is no established or safe dose for urine therapy because it is not a recognized medical treatment. There are safer, evidence-based options for nearly every condition people use it for.

About Azacitidine

What Is Azacitidine Used For?

Brand names: Vidaza, Onureg

Azacitidine injection (brands: Vidaza and generic azacitidine for injection) treats adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) — a group of bone marrow conditions where blood cells don't develop normally. The specific MDS subtypes include refractory anemia, refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (when accompanied by low white or platelet counts, or transfusion dependence), refractory anemia with excess blasts, refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Vidaza is also approved for infants and children aged 1 month and older with newly diagnosed juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).

Onureg (the oral tablet form of azacitidine) is used for a different purpose: continued treatment of adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who achieved their first remission after intensive chemotherapy but are not able to continue intensive curative therapy. Onureg is not interchangeable with the injectable forms.
