Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Avatrombopag Maleate and Alchemilla. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Alchemilla Overview
Alchemilla, a perennial herb found throughout Europe, is traditionally used orally for gastrointestinal issues, inflammation, and as a diuretic. Its above-ground parts are also used topically for their astringent properties. Alchemilla contains 6-16% tannins (ellagic and gallic acids) and 2.22% flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin, and proanthocyanidins).
Studies show that alchemilla's aqueous extracts have antioxidant effects, countering lipid peroxidation and scavenging superoxide anions. In dermatology, alchemilla extracts inhibit proteolytic enzymes and promote fibroblast migration, potentially aiding in wound healing. A small human study suggests that alchemilla extract in gels improves skin moisturization, particularly when skin is pre-treated with drying agents like sodium laurel sulfate, although the exact mechanism is unclear.
Most dietary supplements that contain Alchemilla refer to it solely as 'Lady's Mantle'.
Avatrombopag Maleate Overview
-
Avatrombopag is used to treat thrombocytopenia (a low number of platelets [type of blood cell needed for blood clotting]) in people with chronic (ongoing) liver disease who are scheduled to have a medical or dental procedure to help prevent bleeding complications. It is also used to treat thrombocytopenia in people with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP; an ongoing condition that may cause unusual bruising or bleeding due to an abnormally low number of platelets in the blood) who were not helped with another treatment. Avatrombopag is in a class of medications called thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonists. It works by causing the body to produce more platelets.
