Drug & supplement interaction

Beet + Belinostat

Belinostat brand name: Beleodaq.

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 Belinostat 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 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.

Beet and Belinostat

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 Belinostat 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 Belinostat

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Belinostat is filed under 4 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors, glucuronidated drugs, p-glycoprotein substrates. 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 Belinostat’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 Belinostat 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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Anemia Worth acting on reported in 13.3% of FDA reports for Belinostat 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 Belinostat: bleeding in the gut.

Effects for Belinostat come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Beet come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 347 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Belinostat that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Belinostat page

“Belinostat (Beleodaq) is chemotherapy for peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and the 83 supplement interactions on record for it deserve real scrutiny, not a skim. Four rate major, and they cluster around two dangers.”

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.

About Belinostat Injection

What Is Belinostat Injection Used For?

Brand name: Beleodaq

Beleodaq (belinostat) injection is approved to treat adult patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) — a fast-growing type of lymphoma (blood cancer) that either came back after treatment or never fully responded to it.

This approval is based on how well the cancer responded to the drug, including how long those responses lasted. Whether Beleodaq extends overall survival or improves disease-related symptoms has not yet been established. Continued approval may depend on results from a confirmatory trial.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Belinostat

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (347 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Disease progression 73 reports
Nausea 58 reports
Anemia 46 reports
Vomiting 42 reports

Taking Beet and Belinostat Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Beet with Belinostat?
We do not list a known interaction between Beet and Belinostat. 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 Belinostat have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 6 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.
How was the Beet and Belinostat combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Belinostat is filed under 4 classifications, and Beet has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Belinostat'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 — Belinostat 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 Belinostat interact with any supplements?
Yes. Belinostat has documented interactions with 83 supplements in our database — Beet is not one of them. The Belinostat interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
