Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: bone density and osteoporosis support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, postmenopausal bone loss, bone health.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Ipriflavone is rated "Likely Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).

Ipriflavone is rated likely effective for osteoporosis and also for Paget disease (a bone disorder that causes abnormal bone remodeling). That said, the evidence we hold doesn't detail how well it works compared to other treatments or the typical size of benefit in real patients — talk with your doctor about whether it fits your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ipriflavone

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Ipriflavone is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, but some people experience stomach pain, diarrhea, or dizziness. There's concern that long-term use (6 months or more) may lower white blood cell counts.

The product should be avoided during pregnancy due to possible estrogen-like effects, and it's best avoided during breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Ipriflavone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 391 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take theophylline (a breathing medication), drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 or CYP2C9 enzymes (including some antidepressants, muscle relaxants, and anti-anxiety medicines), or any immunosuppressant medications. Ipriflavone can raise levels of theophylline and many other drugs, raising the risk of side effects or toxicity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Ipriflavone may help with osteoporosis and Paget disease, but it has significant interactions with common medications and can affect white blood cell counts with long-term use. If you take any prescription drugs — especially theophylline, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medicines, or immunosuppressants — clear it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

It's not for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

Ipriflavone4 drug types · 391 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Ipriflavone is thought to competitively inhibit cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2). Theoretically, concurrent use of ipriflavone and drugs metabolized by these enzymes might result in decreased drug elimination, increased serum levels, and potential toxicity. Some drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), Pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), theophylline (Slo-bid, Theo-Dur, others), zileuton (Zyflo), Zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Ipriflavone is thought to competitively inhibit cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9). Theoretically, concurrent use of ipriflavone and drugs metabolized by these enzymes might result in decreased drug elimination, increased serum levels, and potential toxicity. Some drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 include amitriptyline (Elavil), diazepam (Valium), estradiol (Estrace), tacrine (Cognex), verapamil (Calan), warfarin (Coumadin), zileuton (Zyflo), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Concurrent use of ipriflavone and immunosuppressant drugs might have additive effects on inhibiting immune function. Some patients taking ipriflavone experience subclinical lymphocytopenia; avoid concurrent use. Immunosuppressant drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), and other corticosteroids (glucocorticoids).

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Theophylline

Concomitant use of theophylline and ipriflavone can increase serum theophylline levels. Increased theophylline levels have occurred in two cases after patients started taking ipriflavone. Ipriflavone is thought to decrease theophylline metabolism through competitive inhibition of the cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme.

Ipriflavone 600 mg by Specialty Pharmacy: Common Questions

Does Ipriflavone 600 mg by Specialty Pharmacy interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ipriflavone 600 mg has a known interaction with 391 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ipriflavone 600 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take ipriflavone if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Ipriflavone should be avoided during pregnancy because of possible estrogen-like effects and limited safety data. It's also best avoided while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate it well, but some experience stomach pain, diarrhea, or dizziness. With long-term use (6 months or more), there's concern it may lower white blood cell counts, so your doctor may want to monitor that if you're taking it long-term.
Does ipriflavone actually work for osteoporosis?
Ipriflavone is rated likely effective for osteoporosis based on available evidence. It's also likely effective for Paget disease. However, the facts we hold don't detail how much benefit most people see or how it compares to other treatments — ask your doctor whether it's right for your situation.
Why is theophylline a special concern?
Ipriflavone slows how your liver breaks down theophylline (a breathing medication). When this happens, theophylline can build up in your blood to dangerous levels. Two patients actually experienced higher theophylline levels after starting ipriflavone, so if you take theophylline, your doctor needs to know before you start this product.
What's in the capsule besides ipriflavone?
The capsule is made of gelatin. There are no other active ingredients — just the 600 mg of ipriflavone and the capsule material itself.
