Caralluma + Gilteritinib Fumarate

Gilteritinib Fumarate brand name: Xospata.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Caralluma and Gilteritinib Fumarate 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.

Caralluma and Gilteritinib Fumarate

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 Gilteritinib Fumarate and Caralluma 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 Caralluma at all — not against Gilteritinib Fumarate, 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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Caralluma and Gilteritinib Fumarate 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.

  • Stomach upset / Constipation Additional detail

    Caralluma

    “Orally, in clinical trials, side effects have included gastrointestinal upset, abdominal distention, flatulence, constipation, and gastritis. These side effects appeared to subside within the first two weeks of use and have also been reported in patients taking placebo.”

    Gilteritinib Fumarate

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

Reported for Caralluma but not commonly for Gilteritinib Fumarate: raised blood pressure and bloating or gas.

Effects for Gilteritinib Fumarate come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Caralluma 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.

About Caralluma

What is Caralluma?

  • Appetite suppression
  • Weight management
  • Reducing waist circumference
  • Boosting energy/endurance

Caralluma fimbriata is an edible succulent plant from India that is marketed mainly as an appetite suppressant and weight-loss aid. Some small studies suggest it may modestly reduce appetite or waist size, but the overall evidence is limited and not strong. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Caralluma fimbriata · Apocynaceae · Aerial parts (stems) and whole-plant extract · Capsules, tablets, powder, standardized extract

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

Caralluma: dosing

There is no official or well-established standard dose for Caralluma. Studies have used standardized extracts, but the amounts varied, and there is not enough consistent evidence to recommend a specific milligram dose.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount. Because supplement strengths differ, it is a good idea to review the specific product with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

About Gilteritinib

What Is Gilteritinib Used For?

Brand name: Xospata

Xospata (gilteritinib) is used to treat adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) — a fast-growing blood cancer — when the cancer has come back after treatment (relapsed) or stopped responding to treatment (refractory). It is only for patients whose leukemia cells carry a specific genetic change called a FLT3 mutation, which must be confirmed by an FDA-approved test before starting treatment.
