Drug & supplement interaction

Vitamin K + Diroximel Fumarate

Diroximel Fumarate brand name: Vumerity.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate 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 Diroximel Fumarate states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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

Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate

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 Diroximel Fumarate and Vitamin K 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Diroximel Fumarate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Diroximel Fumarate is filed under 3 classifications — immunosuppressants, hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Vitamin K has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being warfarin (coumadin) (major) — and none of Diroximel Fumarate’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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate 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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    Vitamin K

    “Intravenously, vitamin K can cause reactions that resemble hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis. These reactions are rare. It is unclear whether the adverse effect is caused by the drug or a component of the solution. There have been very rare cases of hyperbilirubinemia, particularly in premature neonates, following large doses of vitamin K (15).”

How to take them

Some Diroximel Fumarate Products Have a Food Rule — Vitamin K Should Not Break It

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

If taken with food, avoid a high-fat, high-calorie meal/snack; the meal/snack should contain no more than 700 calories and no more than 30 g fat [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Diroximel Fumarate — 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.

About Vitamin K

What is Vitamin K?

  • Supporting normal blood clotting
  • Bone health
  • Heart and vascular health
  • Correcting vitamin K deficiency
  • Newborn bleeding prevention (medical injection)

Vitamin K is an essential nutrient your body needs for normal blood clotting and to support healthy bones. Most people get enough from food, but supplements are sometimes used for deficiency or bone and heart health, where evidence is mixed. If you take a blood thinner, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before changing your vitamin K intake.

Fat-soluble vitamin (K1 from plants, K2 from animal sources and bacteria) · Capsules, softgels, tablets, drops, injections (medical use)

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

Vitamin K: dosing

There is no single "best" supplement dose for everyone, and needs vary by age, sex, and health status. Nutrition authorities have set general daily intake recommendations for vitamin K that most people can meet through diet.If you choose to take a supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not take more than recommended without medical advice.

Taking Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Vitamin K with Diroximel Fumarate?
We do not list a known interaction between Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate. 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 Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 6 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.
Should I take Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Diroximel Fumarate says to take it with food. If you take Vitamin K on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Diroximel Fumarate with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Diroximel Fumarate products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Vitamin K and Diroximel Fumarate combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Diroximel Fumarate is filed under 3 classifications, and Vitamin K has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Diroximel Fumarate'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.
Does Vitamin K interact with any other medications?
Yes. Vitamin K has 2 documented drug interactions in our database — Diroximel Fumarate is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Diroximel Fumarate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Diroximel Fumarate has documented interactions with 106 supplements in our database — Vitamin K is not one of them. The Diroximel Fumarate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
