Crizotinib brand name: Xalkori.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Common Stonecrop and Crizotinib 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.

Interaction report

Common Stonecrop and Crizotinib

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 Crizotinib and Common Stonecrop 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 Common Stonecrop at all — not against Crizotinib, 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 Common Stonecrop and Crizotinib 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.

Diarrhea / Vomiting reported in 6.7% of FDA reports for Crizotinib Additional detail
Common Stonecrop
“Orally, common stonecrop can cause vomiting and diarrhea when consumed in very large amounts (18).”

Crizotinib

Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Crizotinib, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Effects for Crizotinib come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Common Stonecrop come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 12,638 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Crizotinib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Crizotinib page

“Grapefruit tops my worry list for crizotinib (Xalkori), a targeted pill for ALK-positive lung cancer. It blocks the enzyme (CYP3A4) that clears crizotinib, letting levels climb and side effects with them, and it is one of eight major-rated entries among the 157 supplements and herbs on file for this drug.”

About Common Stonecrop

What is Common Stonecrop?

Wounds and skin irritation
Eczema and other skin conditions
Constipation (laxative use)
Urinary and bladder complaints
High blood pressure (folk use)

Common Stonecrop (Sedum acre) is a small succulent with a long history in European folk medicine, mostly applied to the skin or used as a laxative. There is very little modern scientific evidence to support any of its uses, and the plant can be irritating and may cause vomiting or diarrhea when swallowed, so it should be used with caution and ideally avoided internally.

Sedum acre · Crassulaceae · Above-ground parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops), used fresh or dried · Fresh plant, dried herb, topical preparations, and rarely teas or tinctures

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