Bael and Fedratinib Hydrochloride

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

Minor

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Fedratinib Hydrochloride

Fedratinib Hydrochloride falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Bael interacts with.

Bael and its constituents marmelosin and marmesinin inhibited cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, bael might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and numerous others. Use bael cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.
Severity Minor 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

Your fedratinib (Inrebic) is cleared from the body largely by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. In lab dishes, bael and two of its compounds (marmelosin and marmesinin) slowed that enzyme down. If the same thing happened in people, your body might break down fedratinib more slowly, letting levels creep up. With a cancer medicine like this, higher levels could mean more nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, or low blood counts, and in rare cases serious problems.

The good news: this is only a test-tube finding and has not been seen in actual patients, so I wouldn't panic. Still, because fedratinib is a serious drug, please run any bael supplement past your oncologist or pharmacist first. Occasional food amounts are far less of a concern than concentrated capsules.

About Bael

What is Bael?

Bael
  • Diarrhea and dysentery
  • Indigestion and other digestive complaints
  • Constipation
  • Blood sugar support
  • General wellness in traditional medicine

Bael is a fruit-bearing tree long used in traditional Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine, mostly for digestive problems like diarrhea and indigestion. Modern human evidence for its medicinal benefits is very limited, so it should be viewed mainly as a food and traditional remedy rather than a proven treatment. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using bael as a supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a health condition.

About Fedratinib

What Is Fedratinib Used For?

Brand name: Inrebic

Inrebic (fedratinib) is approved to treat adult patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF) — a type of bone marrow cancer that disrupts normal blood cell production. This includes primary myelofibrosis as well as secondary myelofibrosis that developed after polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia.

It is used both in patients who have not been treated before and in those who have previously been treated with ruxolitinib, another myelofibrosis medication.
