Drug & supplement interaction

Apple Cider Vinegar + Entrectinib

Entrectinib brand name: Rozlytrek.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib

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 Entrectinib and Apple Cider Vinegar 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.

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.

Apple Cider Vinegar safety at a glance

Apple Cider Vinega... overall Use caution Generally safe in food amounts but undiluted or large doses can cause harm.
Pregnancy Use caution Amounts used in food are likely fine, but avoid large medicinal or unpasteurized amounts unless your doctor approves.
Breastfeeding Use caution Food amounts are likely fine, but there is little safety data on large or supplement doses.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

Pharmacist analysis

The use of apple cider vinegar or the amounts of ACV in supplements is unlikely to cause clinically significant drug interactions at recommended dosages.

However, it is important to be aware of potential interactions, especially with medications that lower blood glucose levels, as these interactions have been theoretically proposed, but as I've written in my analysis on individual interaction detail pages, even this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant for most.

In terms of side effects, it is uncommon for individuals to experience any adverse effects from taking ACV, but some mild side effects, such as nausea and indigestion, have been reported. It is important to consider that these side effects could be additive if taken with other medications that cause similar symptoms.

As always, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, including ACV, to ensure its safe and appropriate use for your specific medical situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Entrectinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Entrectinib is filed under 4 classifications — including qt interval-prolonging drugs, hepatotoxic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Apple Cider Vinegar has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being digoxin (lanoxin) (moderate), diuretic drugs (moderate) and insulin (moderate) — and none of Entrectinib’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Bone thinning Worth acting on Additional detail

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    “In food amounts, apple cider vinegar is well tolerated. It seems to be well tolerated when used orally, short-term for medicinal purposes. However, in larger amounts, long-term use may be unsafe.

    Topically, apple cider vinegar may be unsafe.

    Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):

    Orally: Hypokalemia, hyperreninemia, and osteoporosis have been reported with long-term use.

    Topically: Chemical burns, skin irritation.”

    “There is one published report of an individual who developed hypokalemia, elevated renin levels, high positive urinary anion gap, and osteoporosis after ingesting apple cider vinegar 250 mL per day for 6 years. The osteoporosis was attributed to buffering of the acute acid load by bone, and the other effects were attributed to significant bicarbonate excretion.”

About Apple Cider Vinegar

What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Blood sugar support
  • Weight management
  • Digestive upset
  • Appetite control
  • Skin and hair care

Apple cider vinegar is a fermented apple product that many people use hoping to help with blood sugar, weight, or digestion. The evidence for most of these uses is limited and mixed, and the modest effects seen in small studies are not a substitute for proven treatments. When diluted and used in small amounts it is generally safe for most people, but undiluted vinegar can harm teeth and the throat.

Fermented juice of apples (Malus domestica) · Liquid vinegar, capsules, tablets, gummies, powders

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Apple Cider Vinegar is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Apple Cider Vinegar record says about it on its own.

Apple Cider Vinegar: dosing

There is no official or proven dose of apple cider vinegar for any health condition. In small studies, people often diluted a small amount (such as a tablespoon or two) of liquid ACV in a large glass of water taken with meals.If you choose to use ACV, always dilute it well in water to protect your teeth and throat, and consider rinsing your mouth afterward.

About Entrectinib

What Is Entrectinib Used For?

Brand name: Rozlytrek

Rozlytrek (entrectinib) is used to treat adult patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as confirmed by an FDA-approved test. It is also approved for adult and pediatric patients older than 1 month of age who have solid tumors — any cancer type — that carry an NTRK gene fusion detected by an FDA-approved test, provided the tumor has no known acquired resistance mutation, is metastatic or cannot be surgically removed without severe harm, and has progressed after prior treatment or has no satisfactory alternative therapy.

The NTRK gene fusion approval in solid tumors was granted under accelerated approval, meaning it is based on tumor response rates. Continued approval may depend on results from confirmatory clinical trials.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Entrectinib

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,653 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Taking Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Apple Cider Vinegar with Entrectinib?
We do not list a known interaction between Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Apple Cider Vinegar and Entrectinib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Entrectinib is filed under 4 classifications, and Apple Cider Vinegar has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Entrectinib's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Apple Cider Vinegar interact with any other medications?
Yes. Apple Cider Vinegar has 162 documented drug interactions in our database — Entrectinib is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Entrectinib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Entrectinib has documented interactions with 175 supplements in our database — Apple Cider Vinegar is not one of them. The Entrectinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
