Supplements and Cyclizine hydrochloride.

Every documented pair, every citation. Below: 1 documented pair grouped by mechanism.

Cyclizine hydrochloride, sold under the brand name Valoid, is classified under "drugs used in nausea and vertigo" in the BNF.

Cyclizine hydrochloride (brand names Valoid) sits at NHSBSA prescribing rank 139 in the 2024/25 PCA statistics. The BNF classifies it under "drugs used in nausea and vertigo". This means it sits outside the high-volume therapeutic classes (statins, PPIs, ACE inhibitors, SSRIs) where supplement-interaction surfaces are densely studied, and the published evidence base for specific supplement pairs is correspondingly thinner. Where interactions are documented in the Distil database, they are listed below with their clinical-reference citation; where pairs have not been explicitly assessed, the missing-item form at the bottom of the page routes them into our next curation pass. Anyone combining Cyclizine hydrochloride with a regular supplement stack benefits from explicit GP or pharmacist awareness rather than assuming no interaction exists by default.

Below are the 1 documented pair we have explicitly assessed against Cyclizine hydrochloride in the Distil database: 1 amber. The pairs cluster around 1 mechanism: Cholinergic vs anticholinergic (opposing). Every call is cited to either a clinical reference (PMID) or the British National Formulary. Anything not on this list is either still to be assessed or beyond our database scope. The checker beneath surfaces assessments by supplement, and the missing-item form at the bottom of the page routes any uncatalogued supplement into our next curation pass.

Documented interactions

Last reviewed 15 June 2026. Each interaction below lists the evidence its assessment drew on: some rest on studies of the exact pair, others on mechanism evidence, where a citation may support one part of the reasoning rather than the exact combination. The evidence line on each entry says which.

Cholinergic vs anticholinergic (opposing)

Amber Does Huperzine A interact with ?

Huperzine A raises acetylcholine, while cyclizine (an antihistamine used for nausea) has an anticholinergic effect that blocks it. The two can work against each other, so cyclizine may blunt any benefit from huperzine A. It is worth mentioning the huperzine A to your prescriber.

Evidence: Based on an established mechanism, with no direct study of this exact combination yet.

Reviewer-flagged: awaiting clinical-reviewer sign-off.

What this list does not say. Pairs not flagged here are not implicitly safe. They are either not yet in our database, or fall outside our inclusion scope (food-supplement interactions only; for drug-drug interactions, the BNF is authoritative). Use the checker below to surface any supplement, and submit a missing item if you take something we have not catalogued.

How we decide

How we grade severity, choose what's in scope, and what we exclude.

Every call on this page is reasoned. We publish the full rubric for severity tiers, the medication inclusion logic, the evidence grades we accept, and what we deliberately leave out. About three thousand words. Worth reading once if you use this tool more than occasionally.

The full report

A full supplement review, built around you, not a generic stack.

The free checker answers one interaction question at a time. A Distil report reviews the bigger picture: your goals, diet, medications, current supplements and any blood results you provide, then shows what appears worth keeping, changing, adding or leaving out.

  • what your diet already covers, so you are not adding a capsule for something food is already handling
  • which evidence-graded compounds are worth considering for your goals, and which were considered but left out
  • what to keep, change or stop from what you already take, plus the order to introduce anything new
  • how your medications and complete supplement stack fit together, with daily timing and a clear point for reassessment

The interaction check is one section of the full report. You also get the reasoning behind each recommendation and the evidence references used.

Distil's interactions database is reviewed and updated every quarter. We grade evidence transparently and publish our methodology, including every database change, at /about/methodology. This tool is information, not a substitute for clinical judgement. If you take medication and supplements together, your GP or pharmacist can review your full regimen against your medical history. If you want a full personalised stack reasoned against this same database, the Distil report is the next step up.
