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

We found no known interaction between Banderol and Eltrombopag 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 Eltrombopag states a food rule worth keeping to.

Banderol and Eltrombopag

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 Eltrombopag and Banderol 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.

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

Pharmacist analysis

Due to the lack of scientific data, it is difficult to make definitive statements about potential drug interactions involving Banderol (Otoba parvifolia).

Although some preliminary studies done in a lab setting have noted some potential interactions (which can be found in our interaction checker), more are needed to better understand the safety of Banderol when combined with OTC (over-the-counter) or prescription drugs.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Eltrombopag

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Eltrombopag is filed under 2 classifications — hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Banderol has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being organic anion transporter 1 (oat1) substrates (moderate) and organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates (moderate) — and none of Eltrombopag’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.

What Eltrombopag’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Banderol. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Eltrombopag’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 7 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Pain in an arm or leg
  • Chills
  • Hair loss

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Eltrombopag. Read the label on DailyMed › Banderol’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Banderol side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Banderol has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Eltrombopag Products Have a Food Rule — Banderol Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Eltrombopag says to take it with food. If you take Banderol on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Eltrombopag 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 Eltrombopag 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.

Do not split, chew, or crush tablets and mix with food or liquids.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Eltrombopag — 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Eltrombopag

This page covers Banderol only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Eltrombopag page lists 55 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Wine (major) and Ashwagandha (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 42 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Eltrombopag page

“Eltrombopag (Promacta, Revolade) boosts platelet production, and because the drug itself can stress the liver, this list warrants genuine care. Thirty-eight of the 55 supplements and herbs here can injure the liver on their own, so combining them stacks risk on an organ your doctor is already watching with blood tests.”

About Banderol

What is Banderol?

Banderol
  • Lyme disease support
  • Antimicrobial
  • Antifungal
  • Immune support
  • Inflammation

Banderol is a Nutramedix-branded herbal extract made from the bark of the Amazonian tree Otoba parvifolia, most often promoted as part of alternative Lyme disease protocols. There is very little high-quality human research to support its use, so the evidence behind its benefits is weak and largely preliminary. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and never use it to replace proven treatments.

Otoba parvifolia · Myristicaceae · Bark (extract) · Liquid tincture/drops, capsules

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

Banderol: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose for Banderol. It has not been studied enough in humans to set a proven safe and effective amount.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label exactly, since the manufacturer's tincture is typically dosed as a small number of drops in water.

About Eltrombopag

What Is Eltrombopag Used For?

Brand names: Promacta, Revolade, Alvaiz

Eltrombopag treats thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in several different conditions. It is used for adults and children (age 1 and older, depending on the product) with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) — a condition where the immune system destroys platelets — when other treatments like steroids or immunoglobulins haven't worked well enough. It is also used to raise platelet counts in adults with chronic hepatitis C whose low platelet count prevents them from starting or staying on interferon-based antiviral therapy.

Eltrombopag tablets (including Promacta) are also approved — alone or combined with immunosuppressive therapy — for adults and certain children (age 2 and older) with severe aplastic anemia, a serious bone marrow failure condition. Alvaiz (a specific brand) shares most of these uses but has product-specific dosing that is not interchangeable milligram-for-milligram with other eltrombopag products. The oral suspension formulation is approved for ITP and for refractory severe aplastic anemia, but is not approved for first-line severe aplastic anemia in combination with immunosuppressive therapy.

Taking Banderol and Eltrombopag Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Banderol with Eltrombopag?

Should I take Banderol and Eltrombopag at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Eltrombopag says to take it with food. If you take Banderol on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Eltrombopag with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Eltrombopag products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Banderol and Eltrombopag combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Eltrombopag is filed under 2 classifications, and Banderol has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Eltrombopag'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 Banderol interact with any other medications?
Yes. Banderol has 177 documented drug interactions in our database — Eltrombopag 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 Eltrombopag interact with any supplements?
