Drug interactions:

Reishi mushrooms can interact with certain medications, and it's important to be aware of these potential interactions:

1. Anticoagulants and Antiplatelets: Reishi mushrooms may increase the risk of bleeding, especially when taken with blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin®, Jantoven®). This is due to its potential effects on blood clotting​​. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/reishi-mushroom
2. Immunosuppressants: Since Reishi mushrooms can enhance the immune response, they may interfere with the action of immunosuppressant drugs. This can be particularly relevant for individuals undergoing treatments that suppress the immune system​​. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/reishi-mushroom
3. Chemotherapeutic Agents: Reishi mushrooms have been shown to increase plasma antioxidant capacity. In theory, this could interact with chemotherapy drugs, particularly those that rely on the generation of free radicals as part of their therapeutic action​​. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/reishi-mushroom
4. Cytochrome P450 Substrates: Reishi polysaccharides have inhibited enzymes like CYP2E1, CYP1A2, and CYP3A in vitro. These enzymes are involved in the metabolism of many drugs, so Reishi could potentially affect the intracellular concentration of these medications. However, the clinical relevance of this interaction is not fully known​​. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/reishi-mushroom

Given these interactions, it's advisable to consult healthcare providers before combining Reishi supplements with these medications to ensure safety and avoid adverse effects.
