Bog Labrador Tea and Mobocertinib Succinate

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Mobocertinib Succinate

Mobocertinib Succinate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Bog Labrador Tea interacts with.

In vitro research shows that aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Bog Labrador tea leaves can increase the concentration of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes. Extracts obtained from different geographical regions in Quebec resulted in differing potency of CYP3A4 induction. Bog Labrador tea might increase the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
Drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), clarithromycin (Biaxin), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), diltiazem (Cardizem), estrogens, indinavir (Crixivan), amiodarone (Cordarone), ticagrelor (Brilinta), triazolam (Halcion), and others.
Severity Moderate 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

Here's the gist for Exkivity (mobocertinib): your liver relies on an enzyme called CYP3A4 to break this medicine down. Lab studies suggest Bog Labrador tea may rev up that enzyme. If it does, your body could clear the mobocertinib faster, leaving less of it to fight your cancer. In plain terms, the tea might quietly weaken a drug you really need working at full strength.

I want to be honest, though: this signal comes only from test-tube research, not from people, and the strength varied by where the plant was grown. Still, with a cancer drug, I'd rather you not gamble. Please loop in your oncologist or pharmacist before sipping this tea, so nothing undercuts your treatment.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mobocertinib Succinate page

“Mobocertinib (Exkivity) is a targeted therapy for a hard-to-treat lung cancer, which makes dosing precision matter and this list worth real caution. Most of the 146 supplements on file can shift the drug's blood level, because mobocertinib is cleared by CYP3A4, an enzyme many botanicals speed up or slow down.”

About Bog Labrador Tea

What is Bog Labrador Tea?

Bog Labrador Tea
  • Coughs and respiratory complaints
  • Digestive upset and diarrhea
  • Anxiety and stress
  • As a warm beverage
  • Aches and pains (traditional use)

Bog Labrador tea is a wetland shrub whose leaves have long been brewed as a traditional beverage and folk remedy, especially among Indigenous peoples of North America. There is very little human research to confirm any health benefit, and the plant is closely related to species that contain toxic compounds, so it should be used cautiously and in moderation. Pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid it, and anyone considering it should talk with a pharmacist or doctor first.

About Mobocertinib

What Is Mobocertinib Used For?

Brand name: Exkivity

  • Mobocertinib is used to treat a certain type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed by surgery and has spread to other parts of the body either during or after treatment with platinum chemotherapy medications. Mobocertinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop or slow the spread of cancer cells and may help shrink tumors.
