What is this?
The interaction data in the HelloPharmacist supplement database is licensed from Natural Medicines Pro by TRC Healthcare (Therapeutic Research). HelloPharmacist pharmacists often add our own analysis and context on top of that licensed data — such as this Bottom Line summary and the notes on individual interaction pages — and any such commentary is noted as ours.A person taking baclofen (Lioresal, Ozobax) for spasticity should treat this list with more care than most. Twenty-seven supplements and herbs interact, and two rate major. Activated charcoal, the one people actually buy, can soak up an oral dose and sharply cut how much baclofen reaches the blood. Most of the moderates split two ways: gel-forming fibers that slow or block absorption, and herbs that may nudge the seizure threshold lower.
One interaction is specific to baclofen itself. Phenylalanine uses the same intestinal carrier as the drug and competes with it, so taking the two together can lower baclofen levels. Procaine, the second major, is contraindicated intravenously, and a few entries can deepen or prolong the muscle-relaxing effect. Sixteen of the 27 rate moderate and nine minor. Spacing doses well apart handles most of the fiber problems; the seizure threshold herbs deserve a harder look before you take them.

Full Dendrobium + Baclofen answerWhat Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean
Severity — How Serious It Can Be
- Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
- Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
- Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
- No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.
Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented
- Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
- Probable. Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
- Possible. Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists
- Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Where This Data Comes From
- Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
- Each entry links to a full report with the clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations for that exact combination.
- Content is reviewed by licensed HelloPharmacist pharmacists — see our data sources and editorial standards.
How Does Our Interaction Checker Work?
Behind every verdict on this page is a category system. Our source database doesn’t document supplement interactions drug-by-drug — it documents them against groups of medications that behave the same way (for example, “drugs processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme” or “blood-thinning medications”).
So the check works in three steps: (1) Baclofen is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Baclofen, and (3) each ingredient keeps its own severity, likelihood, and evidence grades from the underlying record. That’s why one supplement can carry several records for one drug — it may interact through more than one category.
Baclofen sits in 4 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:
Oral Drugs 17 ingredients
