White Sandalwood + Insulin Lispro
Insulin Lispro brand names: Admelog, Admelog Solostar.
We found no known interaction between White Sandalwood and Insulin Lispro 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 Insulin Lispro 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.
White Sandalwood and Insulin Lispro
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 Insulin Lispro and White Sandalwood 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.
White Sandalwood safety at a glance
Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Insulin Lispro
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Insulin Lispro is filed under a single classification — antidiabetes drugs. White Sandalwood has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being lithium (moderate) — and none of Insulin Lispro’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.
White Sandalwood Does Interact With Other Medications
White Sandalwood has 1 moderate known drug interaction in our database — Insulin Lispro isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

Some Insulin Lispro Products Have a Food Rule — White Sandalwood Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Insulin Lispro says to take it with food. If you take White Sandalwood on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Insulin Lispro 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 Insulin Lispro 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.
( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) Subcutaneous injection ( 2.2 ): Administer HUMALOG ® U-100 or U-200 by subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks within 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Insulin Lispro — 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.
What Insulin Lispro Is Prescribed For, and What White Sandalwood Has Been Studied For
These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Insulin Lispro is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. White Sandalwood is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.
Insulin Lispro is prescribed for: Insulin lispro injection is used to improve glycemic control (blood sugar management) in people with diabetes mellitus. It is a rapid-acting insulin analog approved for use in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Admelog is specifically indicated to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. Humalog Mix75/25 is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes mellitus; it is a fixed-ratio mixture of insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine, and its fixed proportions do not allow for separate adjustment of basal (background) and prandial (mealtime) doses.

-
Stroke studied, not established White Sandalwood has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows
White Sandalwood for stroke
Although there has been interest in using oral white sandalwood for stroke, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of white sandalwood for this purpose.
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 Insulin Lispro on your own; if you are taking White Sandalwood for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.
See Every Supplement That Interacts With Insulin Lispro
This page covers White Sandalwood only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Insulin Lispro page lists 239 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Siberian Cocklebur (major), Acai (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate), Agaricus Mushroom (moderate) and Agmatine (moderate).
By severity: 1 major · 208 moderate · 30 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Insulin Lispro page
“Blood sugar is the entire subject of this list. Insulin lispro (Admelog) is a rapid mealtime insulin dosed to bring glucose down after eating, and the supplements below can shove that same number around, most of them downward, which risks a genuine low.”

About White Sandalwood
What is White Sandalwood?
- Relaxation and stress relief
- Skin soothing and cosmetics
- Aromatherapy and meditation
- Traditional remedy for urinary discomfort
- Fragrance and perfumes
White sandalwood is a fragrant wood from the Santalum album tree, used for centuries in perfumes, incense, skincare, and traditional medicine. Most of its popular uses—like relaxation and skin care—are based on tradition and lab studies rather than strong human research. Use it cautiously, especially on the skin or by mouth, and talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it as a remedy.
Santalum album · Santalaceae · Heartwood and essential oil · Essential oil, powder, paste, incense, skincare products, and occasionally capsules or tablets
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether White Sandalwood is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our White Sandalwood record says about it on its own.
White Sandalwood: dosing
There is no established standardized dose for white sandalwood, and reliable human dosing information for oral use is lacking. Never swallow undiluted essential oil, and dilute oils properly before applying them to your skin. When in doubt, choose products from reputable manufacturers and use the smallest amount needed.

Insulin Lispro Is Linked to Lower Levels of One Nutrient
Natural Medicines records Insulin Lispro as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with White Sandalwood — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
