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.Procaine (Novocain) is the numbing injection used at the dentist and before minor procedures, and its interaction list warrants real caution, not panic. Six of the 11 ingredients on file, including everyday products like melatonin and ginkgo, may make seizures more likely, since anesthetics such as procaine already lower the seizure threshold, the point at which the brain can misfire. The other five affect anesthesia itself, and the lone major-rated entry sits in that group: fever bark, whose reserpine content has been linked to unstable heart function during general anesthesia.
The other ten entries rate moderate, though moderate still covers serious ground; one adds suppressed breathing on top of the anesthetic's own effect, which can be fatal. Because you rarely pick the timing of a procaine shot, tell the dentist or doctor everything you take beforehand, fever bark above all.

Full Thuja + Procaine (prescription drug) 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) Procaine (prescription drug) is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Procaine (prescription drug), 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.
Procaine (prescription drug) sits in 2 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:
Seizure Threshold Lowering Drugs 6 ingredients
A pharmacology grouping from our source database: medications in this group share a property that certain supplements are known to interact with, so an interaction documented for the group applies to every drug in it.
6 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Procaine (prescription drug) through this category.
Anesthesia 5 ingredients
A pharmacology grouping from our source database: medications in this group share a property that certain supplements are known to interact with, so an interaction documented for the group applies to every drug in it.
