The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Calcium D-glucarate and Bosutinib 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 Bosutinib states a food rule worth keeping to.

Calcium D-glucarate and Bosutinib

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 Bosutinib and Calcium D-glucarate 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Bosutinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Bosutinib is filed under 4 classifications — including nephrotoxic drugs, hepatotoxic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Calcium D-glucarate has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being alcohol (ethanol) (moderate), glucuronidated drugs (moderate) and kanamycin (minor) — and none of Bosutinib’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.

Keep it in perspective

What to actually watch for

What Bosutinib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Calcium D-glucarate. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Bosutinib’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Acne
  • Dry skin

Showing the 10 most notable of 24 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Bosutinib. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 8,931 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Bosutinib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Calcium D-glucarate’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Calcium D-glucarate side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Calcium D-glucarate has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Bosutinib Products Have a Food Rule — Calcium D-glucarate Should Not Break It

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

Adult patients with newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML: 400 mg orally once daily with food.

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

This page covers Calcium D-glucarate only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Bosutinib page lists 172 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Asarabacca (major), Beer (major), Grapefruit (major) and Siberian Cocklebur (major).

By severity: 7 major · 126 moderate · 39 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Bosutinib page

“Grapefruit is the first thing to know about if you take bosutinib (Bosulif) for chronic myeloid leukemia. Bosutinib is cleared by the enzyme CYP3A4, and grapefruit blocks that pathway, so drug levels climb and side effects with them.”

About Calcium D-glucarate

What is Calcium D-glucarate?

Calcium D-glucarate
  • Detoxification support
  • Hormone balance
  • Estrogen metabolism
  • Liver support
  • General wellness

Calcium D-glucarate is a supplement form of a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables that is promoted for 'detoxification' and helping the body clear excess hormones. Human evidence for these benefits is very limited, and most research comes from laboratory or animal studies. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have a hormone-related condition.

Not applicable (a calcium salt of D-glucaric acid) · Tablets, capsules

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

Calcium D-glucarate: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose for calcium D-glucarate, and the best dose for any health goal has not been established in humans.

Taking Calcium D-glucarate and Bosutinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Calcium D-glucarate with Bosutinib?
We do not list a known interaction between Calcium D-glucarate and Bosutinib. 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.
Should I take Calcium D-glucarate and Bosutinib at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Bosutinib says to take it with food. If you take Calcium D-glucarate on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Bosutinib with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Bosutinib products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Calcium D-glucarate and Bosutinib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Bosutinib is filed under 4 classifications, and Calcium D-glucarate has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Bosutinib'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 Calcium D-glucarate interact with any other medications?
Yes. Calcium D-glucarate has 126 documented drug interactions in our database — Bosutinib 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 Bosutinib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Bosutinib has documented interactions with 172 supplements in our database — Calcium D-glucarate is not one of them. The Bosutinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
