Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Cabotegravir, Rilpivirine and Banderol. 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.
Pharmacist Analysis
Due to the lack of scientific data, it is difficult to make definitive statements about potential drug interactions involving Banderol (Otoba parvifolia).
Although some preliminary studies done in a lab setting have noted some potential interactions (which can be found in our interaction checker), more are needed to better understand the safety of Banderol when combined with OTC (over-the-counter) or prescription drugs.
Banderol Overview
Banderol is a dietary supplement manufactured by Nutramedix. It contains Otoba parvifolia bark extract. Otoba parvifolia is a species of tree in the Myristicaceae family, which is native to the Amazonian region of South America. It is also known as the "Small-leaved Otoba".
It is believed that the leaves and bark of the Otoba parvifolia tree have medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory properties that may help to reduce pain, swelling, and redness in the body. Additionally, the bark is thought to have antimicrobial properties, which may be effective against bacteria and fungi, including some that are resistant to antibiotics.
Cabotegravir, Rilpivirine Overview
-
Cabotegravir and rilpivirine injections are used in combination for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in certain adults and children 12 years of age or older weighing at least 77 pounds (35 kg). Cabotegravir is in a class of medications called HIV integrase inhibitors. Rilpivirine is in a class of medications called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). These medications work by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood. Although cabotegravir and rilpivirine do not cure HIV, they may decrease your chance of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related illnesses such as serious infections or cancer. Receiving these medications along with practicing safer sex and making other life-style changes may decrease the risk of transmitting (spreading) the HIV virus to other people.
