HelloPharmacist Bottom Line
Our Pharmacist Explains
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.

Fomoterol (Foradil) keeps airways open in asthma and COPD, and the supplement picture here is calmer than a 103-item list suggests. None of these interactions is rated major; 84 are moderate and 19 minor. Nearly all of them work through the same mechanism, changing the liver enzymes (CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19) that break the drug down, which can nudge the amount in your body up or down. Goldenseal and CBD carry some of the strongest human evidence for slowing those enzymes.

So the useful habit is noticing how the inhaler behaves. More shakiness or a racing heartbeat after a dose can mean a level pushed too high, while an inhaler that seems to wear off early could reflect something like ginkgo, which may speed one of those enzymes up. You do not need to empty the supplement shelf, just tell your pharmacist what you take so the pairs worth watching get flagged.

What 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) Fomoterol is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Fomoterol, 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.

Fomoterol sits in 3 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates 64 ingredients

A drug-metabolism group: these medications are processed by the named liver enzyme (a cytochrome P450). Supplements that speed this enzyme up or slow it down can lower or raise the medication's levels in your body.

64 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Fomoterol through this category.

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates 60 ingredients

A drug-metabolism group: these medications are processed by the named liver enzyme (a cytochrome P450). Supplements that speed this enzyme up or slow it down can lower or raise the medication's levels in your body.

60 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Fomoterol through this category.

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates 33 ingredients

A drug-metabolism group: these medications are processed by the named liver enzyme (a cytochrome P450). Supplements that speed this enzyme up or slow it down can lower or raise the medication's levels in your body.

33 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Fomoterol through this category.

Fomoterol & Supplements: Common Questions

What supplements interact with Fomoterol?
Our database currently documents 103 ingredients with a known Fomoterol interaction (0 major, 84 moderate, 19 minor). The practical move: scan the major group first, then look up the exact supplements you take rather than reading all 103. The highest-ranked right now: Ayahuasca, Cannabidiol (cbd), Ginkgo.
Which Fomoterol supplement interactions are the most serious?
None of the Fomoterol supplement interactions on file are currently rated major. The most significant are the 84 moderate-rated ones — combinations that may need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separated timing. Still worth a quick look through the ranked list for anything you take daily. Jump to the ranked list.
Can I take vitamins or supplements while on Fomoterol?
Plenty of supplements coexist fine with Fomoterol; a shorter list does not. Rather than memorizing it, check the specific ingredients on your labels — the ranked list above covers every one we've checked, and multi-ingredient products can be checked label-by-label with our scanner. Try the label scanner or the interaction checker.
Do brands like Foradil have the same supplement interactions as Fomoterol?
Yes — Foradil all contain Fomoterol, so everything on this page applies to them equally. Interactions belong to the active drug, never to the brand on the box; the same is true of generics.
Where do these interaction ratings come from?
Every rating comes from the Natural Medicines database — the same evidence-graded reference pharmacists and hospitals use — and each interaction carries three separate grades: severity (how bad it can be), likelihood (how well it's documented in studies and case reports), and an evidence level. Our pharmacists review the content; we never let an AI decide an interaction. See how to read the ratings and our editorial policy.
What about Fomoterol and my other medications?
This page covers Fomoterol against supplements and herbal ingredients. Checking Fomoterol against your other prescription or OTC medications is a different tool — our drug interaction checker covers that side. Head to the drug–drug interaction checker, or read the full Formoterol Oral Inhalation drug information.
