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

We found no known interaction between Chrysin and Eltrombopag 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 Eltrombopag states a food rule worth keeping to.

Interaction report

Chrysin and Eltrombopag

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 Eltrombopag and Chrysin 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.

Chrysin safety at a glance

Chrysin overall Use caution Generally seems well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety is not well studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Eltrombopag

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Eltrombopag is filed under 2 classifications — hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Chrysin has documented interactions with 9 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate), aromatase inhibitors (moderate) and contraceptive drugs (moderate) — and none of Eltrombopag’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 Eltrombopag’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Chrysin. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Eltrombopag’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. 7 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Pain in an arm or leg
  • Chills
  • Hair loss

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Eltrombopag. Read the label on DailyMed › Chrysin’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Chrysin side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Chrysin has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Eltrombopag Products Have a Food Rule — Chrysin Should Not Break It

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

Do not split, chew, or crush tablets and mix with food or liquids.

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

This page covers Chrysin only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Eltrombopag page lists 55 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Wine (major) and Ashwagandha (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 42 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Eltrombopag page

“Eltrombopag (Promacta, Revolade) boosts platelet production, and because the drug itself can stress the liver, this list warrants genuine care. Thirty-eight of the 55 supplements and herbs here can injure the liver on their own, so combining them stacks risk on an organ your doctor is already watching with blood tests.”

About Chrysin

What is Chrysin?

  • Bodybuilding and testosterone support
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Antioxidant support
  • Prostate health

Chrysin is a plant flavonoid sold mainly as a bodybuilding supplement claimed to raise testosterone or block estrogen, but human studies have not shown these benefits, largely because the body absorbs very little of it. Evidence for its other proposed uses is mostly limited to laboratory and animal research, so its real-world value is unclear. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Flavonoid extracted from plants such as passionflower and from honey and propolis · Capsules, tablets, powders, topical gels

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

Chrysin: dosing

There is no well-established or proven dose for chrysin. Amounts in commercial products vary widely, and because so little is absorbed by the body, the right dose for any benefit is unknown.If you choose to try it, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount. A pharmacist can help you review the product and decide whether it makes sense for you.

About Eltrombopag

What Is Eltrombopag Used For?

Brand names: Promacta, Revolade, Alvaiz

Eltrombopag treats thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in several different conditions. It is used for adults and children (age 1 and older, depending on the product) with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) — a condition where the immune system destroys platelets — when other treatments like steroids or immunoglobulins haven't worked well enough. It is also used to raise platelet counts in adults with chronic hepatitis C whose low platelet count prevents them from starting or staying on interferon-based antiviral therapy.

Eltrombopag tablets (including Promacta) are also approved — alone or combined with immunosuppressive therapy — for adults and certain children (age 2 and older) with severe aplastic anemia, a serious bone marrow failure condition. Alvaiz (a specific brand) shares most of these uses but has product-specific dosing that is not interchangeable milligram-for-milligram with other eltrombopag products. The oral suspension formulation is approved for ITP and for refractory severe aplastic anemia, but is not approved for first-line severe aplastic anemia in combination with immunosuppressive therapy.

Taking Chrysin and Eltrombopag Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Chrysin with Eltrombopag?
We do not list a known interaction between Chrysin and Eltrombopag. 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 Chrysin and Eltrombopag at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Eltrombopag says to take it with food. If you take Chrysin on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Eltrombopag with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Eltrombopag products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Chrysin and Eltrombopag combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Eltrombopag is filed under 2 classifications, and Chrysin has documented interactions with 9 drug classes — none of Eltrombopag'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 Chrysin interact with any other medications?
Yes. Chrysin has 358 documented drug interactions in our database — Eltrombopag 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 Eltrombopag interact with any supplements?
Yes. Eltrombopag has documented interactions with 55 supplements in our database — Chrysin is not one of them. The Eltrombopag interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
