Amaranth + Ceritinib
Ceritinib brand name: Zykadia.
We found no known interaction between Amaranth and Ceritinib in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Ceritinib states a food rule worth keeping to.
Amaranth and Ceritinib
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Ceritinib and Amaranth in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Amaranth at all — not against Ceritinib, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.
Amaranth safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Ceritinib Products Have a Food Rule — Amaranth Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Ceritinib says to take it with food. If you take Amaranth on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Ceritinib with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Ceritinib products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended Dosage: 450 mg orally once daily with food.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Ceritinib — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ceritinib page
“Ceritinib (Zykadia) treats ALK-positive lung cancer, and its label already warns about liver injury and heart rhythm changes, so this list of 67 supplements calls for genuine care. Ten interactions rate major, and most of the risk runs along two lines the drug is already prone to: 38 ingredients can stress the liver, and 13 can prolong…”

About Amaranth
What is Amaranth?
- Nutrition and as a gluten-free grain
- High cholesterol
- Diarrhea and digestive upset
- Mouth and throat irritation (gargle)
- Wound and skin care (traditional)
Amaranth is a nutritious plant whose seeds are used as a gluten-free pseudocereal and whose leaves are eaten as a vegetable. It is generally considered safe as a food, but evidence for its medicinal benefits (such as lowering cholesterol) is limited and mostly preliminary. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements.

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Amaranth is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Amaranth record says about it on its own.
Amaranth: dosing
There is no established standardized medicinal dose for amaranth. As a food, it is simply prepared and eaten like other grains or leafy vegetables.If you choose a supplement, oil, or capsule, follow the directions on the product label, since the amount of active ingredients can vary widely between products.
