Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Cabotegravir, Rilpivirine and Arabinoxylan. 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.
Arabinoxylan Overview
Arabinoxylan is a type of dietary fiber present in the cell walls of cereal grains such as wheat, corn, rice, rye, oat, and barley. It has a structure comprising a xylose backbone with arabinose side chains and can be extracted from byproducts of wheat-flour processing. In natural medicine, arabinoxylan has been utilized to address conditions like diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, and metabolic syndrome. However, the evidence supporting its effectiveness in these areas is currently insufficient.
Mechanistically, arabinoxylan functions as a prebiotic, fostering the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut. It may also reduce colonic protein fermentation while boosting the production of short-chain fatty acids. Arabinoxylan in clinical research has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects by lowering postprandial glucose levels and hypolipidemic effects by reducing serum triglycerides.
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.
