Drug & supplement interaction

Beet + Avatrombopag Maleate

Avatrombopag Maleate brand name: Doptelet.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate 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 Avatrombopag Maleate states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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

Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate

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 Avatrombopag Maleate and Beet 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.

Beet safety at a glance

Beet overall Generally safe Beet is widely eaten as a food and is generally well tolerated for most adults.
Pregnancy Use caution Beet as a food is fine, but concentrated supplements lack safety data, so use caution.
Breastfeeding Use caution Beet as a food is fine, but there is not enough data on concentrated supplements.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Avatrombopag Maleate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Avatrombopag Maleate is filed under 2 classifications — p-glycoprotein substrates, oral drugs. Beet has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates (moderate), antihypertensive drugs (minor) and cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (minor) — and none of Avatrombopag Maleate’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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Anemia Worth acting on Additional detail

    Beet

    “Orally, beet juice may cause red stools. This red coloring of the stools is not harmful. Additionally, beet supplementation has been reported to cause black stools. In one case, a 79-year-old male on apixaban and clopidogrel presented with black stools, nausea, and vomiting after taking beet pills 2-3 days prior.”

Reported for Beet but not commonly for Avatrombopag Maleate: kidney problems, diarrhea, constipation and bleeding in the gut.

Effects for Avatrombopag Maleate come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Beet come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

How to take them

Some Avatrombopag Maleate Products Have a Food Rule — Beet Should Not Break It

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

Administer DOPTELET tablets and DOPTELET SPRINKLE with food.

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

Overlapping uses

What Avatrombopag Maleate Is Prescribed For, and What Beet Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Avatrombopag Maleate is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Beet is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Avatrombopag Maleate is prescribed for: Avatrombopag treats thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count that raises bleeding risk) in three groups of patients. Doptelet tablets are used in adults with chronic liver disease who need their platelet count raised before a medical procedure, and in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) whose platelet count has not responded well enough to earlier treatments. Doptelet tablets are also used in children aged 6 years and older with persistent or chronic ITP who have not responded to prior treatment. Doptelet Sprinkle (oral granules) is specifically indicated for children aged 1 year to less than 6 years with persistent or chronic ITP who have not responded adequately to a previous treatment.

Beet has been studied for:

  • Liver disease studied, not established Beet has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Beet for liver disease

    Although there has been interest in using oral beet for liver disease, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of beet for this purpose.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Avatrombopag Maleate on your own; if you are taking Beet for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Avatrombopag Maleate

This page covers Beet only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Avatrombopag Maleate page lists 54 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), St. John's Wort (major), Bitter Melon (moderate), Black Pepper (moderate) and Bulbine Natalensis (moderate).

By severity: 2 major · 35 moderate · 17 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Avatrombopag Maleate page

“Avatrombopag maleate (Doptelet) exists to raise a low platelet count, so anything that drags its blood level down invites the bleeding risk it was prescribed to prevent. I would handle this list of 54 supplements with real care, and the two rated major come first.”

About Beet

What is Beet?

Beet
  • High blood pressure
  • Exercise and athletic performance
  • Heart and circulation support
  • General antioxidant/anti-inflammatory support
  • Liver and digestive support

Beet, especially beetroot juice, is a nitrate-rich food that may modestly lower blood pressure and slightly improve exercise performance in some people. It is generally safe as a food, but supplement effects are modest and not a substitute for prescribed treatment, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before relying on it.

Beta vulgaris · Amaranthaceae · Root and leaves (greens) · Juice, powder, capsules, tablets, whole food, concentrated shots, gels

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

Beet: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of beet for supplement use. Studies have used a range of amounts of beetroot juice or powder, often based on nitrate content, but the best dose is not firmly established.If you choose a beet supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Beet with Avatrombopag Maleate?
We do not list a known interaction between Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate. 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 Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 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.
Should I take Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Avatrombopag Maleate says to take it with food. If you take Beet on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Avatrombopag Maleate with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Avatrombopag Maleate products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Are Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Beet in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Avatrombopag Maleate is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Beet and Avatrombopag Maleate combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Avatrombopag Maleate is filed under 2 classifications, and Beet has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Avatrombopag Maleate'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 Beet interact with any other medications?
Yes. Beet has 861 documented drug interactions in our database — Avatrombopag Maleate 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 Avatrombopag Maleate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Avatrombopag Maleate has documented interactions with 54 supplements in our database — Beet is not one of them. The Avatrombopag Maleate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
