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

We found no known interaction between Beth Root and Everolimus 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.

Beth Root and Everolimus

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 Everolimus and Beth Root 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Beth Root at all — not against Everolimus, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Beth Root and Everolimus May Share a Side Effect

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.

  • Vomiting Additional detail

    Beth Root

    “Orally, ingestion of large amounts of the plant or volatile oil might produce GI irritation severe enough to cause vomiting (12,18). In pregnant women, the drastic purgative effects can cause reflex uterine contractions.

    Topically, beth root causes extreme irritation (18).”

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Everolimus. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Effects for Everolimus come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Beth Root come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 50,590 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Everolimus 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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Everolimus

This page covers Beth Root only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Everolimus page lists 156 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Asarabacca (major), Grapefruit (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major) and St. John's Wort (major).

By severity: 5 major · 112 moderate · 39 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Everolimus page

“Everolimus (Afinitor, Zortress, Certican) has to stay in a narrow blood-level window, whether you take it after an organ transplant or for cancer, so treat this supplement list with real caution. Most of its 156 interacting ingredients can push those levels up or down, mainly by changing how the CYP3A4 enzyme breaks the drug down.”

About Beth Root

What is Beth Root?

  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Childbirth and postpartum bleeding
  • Wounds and skin irritation
  • Diarrhea

Beth root is a traditional North American plant remedy historically used by Indigenous peoples and folk herbalists, mostly for menstrual and bleeding-related complaints. There is very little modern scientific evidence to show it works for any condition, and its safety has not been well studied, so caution is advised—especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Trillium erectum · Melanthiaceae · Dried root and rhizome · Dried root, tincture, tea, powder, capsules

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

Beth Root: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for beth root. It has not been studied enough to know a safe and effective amount, and the strength of products can vary widely.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Everolimus

What Is Everolimus Used For?

Brand names: Certican, Afinitor, Zortress, Afinitor Disperz

Everolimus is used to treat several serious conditions. In cancer, it is prescribed for advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (in postmenopausal women), certain neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas, GI tract, or lung, and advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) when other treatments have stopped working.

It is also used for people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) — a genetic condition that causes benign tumors to grow throughout the body. In TSC, it treats kidney tumors called angiomyolipomas, brain tumors called SEGA, and seizures. In kidney transplant patients, it helps prevent the body from rejecting the new organ.

Taking Beth Root and Everolimus Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Beth Root with Everolimus?
We do not list a known interaction between Beth Root and Everolimus. 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 Beth Root and Everolimus have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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.
Does Everolimus interact with any supplements?
Yes. Everolimus has documented interactions with 156 supplements in our database — Beth Root is not one of them. The Everolimus interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
