Coconut and Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir

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 Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir and Coconut 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 Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir is filed under 7 classifications — including cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inhibitors, p-glycoprotein substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Coconut has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (minor) — and none of Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir’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.

What Coconut Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir. It is the side-effect record for Coconut on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Coconut, this list is the first place to look. 2 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Wheezing / Shortness of breath Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Although coconut is a stone fruit, in the US, coconut is grouped with tree nuts for allergen declaration purposes. Orally or topically, coconut can cause allergic reactions ranging from hives to anaphylaxis in those with hypersensitivity to coconut or its pollen.”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir page

“Technivie (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir) treats hepatitis C, and because a cure depends on holding steady drug levels for the whole course, this list warrants genuine care. Most of the 154 ingredients on file touch the CYP3A4 enzyme pathway, meaning they can push the drug's blood levels up or down.”

About Coconut

What is Coconut?

  • Skin and hair care
  • Source of dietary fats (MCTs)
  • Hydration with coconut water
  • Cooking and weight management
  • Antimicrobial (traditional use)

Coconut is a nutritious tropical food enjoyed as oil, water, milk, and flesh, and it is generally safe to eat in normal food amounts. While some uses (like skin moisturizing and hydration) have reasonable support, many health claims for coconut oil are weak or unproven, and coconut oil is high in saturated fat. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using coconut products in large or medicinal amounts.

Cocos nucifera · Arecaceae · Fruit (flesh and water), oil, and milk · Coconut oil, coconut water, coconut milk, dried/shredded flesh, capsules (MCT oil)

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

Coconut: dosing

There is no standardized medicinal dose for coconut products. As a food, coconut oil, water, milk, and flesh are used in everyday cooking and drinking amounts.If you use a coconut or MCT oil supplement, follow the directions on the product label.

About Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir, and Ritonavir

What Is Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir, and Ritonavir Used For?

Brand name: Technivie

  • The combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir is usually used in combination with ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol), but sometimes it is used alone to treat a certain type of chronic (long-term) hepatitis C infection (swelling of the liver caused by a virus). Ombitasvir is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor. It works by stopping the virus that causes hepatitis C from spreading inside the body. Paritaprevir is a protease inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of HCV in the body. Ritonavir is a protease inhibitor. It helps to increase the amount of paritaprevir in the body so that the medication will have a greater effect. It is not known if ombitasvir, paritaprevir, or ritonavir prevent the spread of hepatitis C to other people.
