Will propolis interact with any other drug ?

At the moment there is no known detrimental interaction between pure propolis and other man-made drugs.

2 Important Facts

But, you must understand that :-

  1. Propolis used in cosmetic preparation or in dietary supplement are normally extracted using ethanol. This high alcohol content in some propolis tinctures could lead to vomiting if you take it along with disulfiram (Antabuse) or metronidazole ( Flagyl).
  2. The second thing you must understand is that the number of experiments involving propolis is still small. Thus, not all interactions between propolis and other drugs are well known.

Our Advice

Because of that, we advise you to tell your doctor and/or pharmacist what drugs you are currently taking, including any over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbals before using or taking any products containing propolis.

We also suggest the use of Drug Interaction Checker to check the potential side effects of 2 drugs taken together ( note: it loads very slowly)
