Wild Indigo + Canagliflozin
Canagliflozin brand name: Invokana.
We found no known interaction between Wild Indigo and Canagliflozin 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.
Wild Indigo and Canagliflozin
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 Canagliflozin and Wild Indigo 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 Wild Indigo at all — not against Canagliflozin, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Canagliflozin page
“Canagliflozin (Invokana) lowers blood sugar, and that is precisely why this list deserves genuine care. Nearly every ingredient on it works on glucose one way or another: most can push it too low when stacked with the drug, while a few, niacin among them, raise it and work against the medicine.”

About Wild Indigo
What is Wild Indigo?
- Colds and flu
- Immune support
- Sore throat and upper respiratory infections
- Minor infections
- Mouth and gum irritation (traditional use)
Wild Indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) is a traditional herb most often used in combination products for colds and immune support, but high-quality human evidence is very limited. It can be toxic in larger amounts, so it should be used cautiously and only at low doses, and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Baptisia tinctoria · Fabaceae · Root (and sometimes the leaves) · Tinctures, capsules, dried root for tea, and combination herbal products (often blended with echinacea and thuja)
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Wild Indigo is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Wild Indigo record says about it on its own.
Wild Indigo: dosing
There is no well-established standardized dose for wild indigo. It is most often found in small amounts within combination products, where the manufacturer sets the dose.Because the herb can be toxic at higher amounts, it is important to follow the product label exactly and not exceed the recommended dose. Do not assume that more is better.

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