Interaction Details

Tivozanib Hydrochloride is classified as belonging to the following category: Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.

Black Psyllium Overview

Black Psyllium Black psyllium is the seed from the Plantago ovata plant, which is native to Iran and India. The seeds contain a high amount of soluble fiber. When black psyllium is mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance that can help to bulk up the stool and stimulate bowel movements. It is also believed to have other health benefits, such as reducing cholesterol levels and improving digestive health.

Tivozanib Hydrochloride Overview

  • Tivozanib is used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC; cancer that begins in the kidneys) that has returned or did not respond to at least two other medications.
