Bacopa and Ibrexafungerp Citrate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Ibrexafungerp Citrate

Ibrexafungerp Citrate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Bacopa interacts with.

Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP3A4 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and competitively inhibit CYP3A4, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the short version: your body uses an enzyme called CYP3A4 to clear ibrexafungerp (Brexafemme) out of your system. In lab dish studies, bacopa has shown a possible ability to slow that same enzyme down a bit. If that happened in real life, ibrexafungerp could build up a little higher than usual, which might bump up its typical side effects like nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, or dizziness.

I'd put a calm note on this one. The evidence is only from test-tube and animal work, and even those results disagree with each other, so we don't know it matters in people. Brexafemme is also a short course for most women, which limits the window for any issue. Still, mention your bacopa to your pharmacist or doctor so they can keep an eye out.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ibrexafungerp Citrate page

“Ibrexafungerp (Brexafemme) treats vaginal yeast infections, often in a single day of pills, and even that short course can be thrown off by the wrong supplement, so this list warrants real care. Three of the 138 ingredients on file rate major, and they pull in opposite directions.”

About Bacopa

What is Bacopa?

Bacopa
  • Memory and cognitive support
  • Anxiety and stress
  • ADHD symptoms
  • Age-related memory decline
  • General brain health

Bacopa is an Ayurvedic herb most often used for memory and thinking. Some small studies suggest it may modestly help memory when taken regularly for several weeks, but the evidence is limited and quality varies. It is generally well tolerated but can cause stomach upset, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data.
