Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, Hyaluronidase-Zzxf and Lentinan. 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.
Lentinan Overview
Lentinan is a type of polysaccharide that is extracted from the edible mushroom Lentinula edodes, also known as shiitake. The main part of lentinan is Beta-1,3-glucan and supplements are often marketed simply under that name. Lentinan has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its purported immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies have suggested that lentinan may have anti-tumor effects and may help to boost the immune system, but more research is needed to confirm these effects and to determine the appropriate dosage and duration of use.

The combination of pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and hyaluronidase-zzxf is also used with docetaxel (Taxotere) to treat certain types of breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Pertuzumab and trastuzumab are in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. They work by stopping the growth of cancer cells. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer so that these medications will have a greater effect.
