Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) + Amivantamab-Vmjw

Amivantamab-Vmjw brand name: Rybrevant.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) and Amivantamab-Vmjw 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.

Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) and Amivantamab-Vmjw

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 Amivantamab-Vmjw and Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) 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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) and Amivantamab-Vmjw 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

About Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso)

What is Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso)?

Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso)
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Arthritis
  • Sprains and strains
  • Interstitial cystitis (bladder pain)
  • Skin penetration enhancer for other medicines

DMSO is a colorless liquid solvent that people apply to the skin for pain and inflammation, and it is FDA-approved (as a prescription) only for interstitial cystitis placed directly into the bladder. Most over-the-counter uses for pain and arthritis have limited or low-quality evidence, and DMSO can carry impurities or push other chemicals through your skin. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid industrial-grade products.

Industrially produced chemical compound (a byproduct of wood pulp processing) · Topical cream, gel, liquid solution; bladder instillation solution (prescription); industrial-grade and pharmaceutical-grade liquids

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

Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso): dosing

There is no single standardized over-the-counter dose of DMSO for pain or arthritis.

About Amivantamab-vmjw Injection

What Is Amivantamab-vmjw Injection Used For?

Brand name: Rybrevant

Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw) is used to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that carries specific changes (mutations) in the EGFR gene. The exact regimen depends on which mutation is present and whether prior treatment has been received.

Rybrevant is used: in combination with lazertinib as a first-line treatment for NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations; in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed for those same mutations when the cancer progressed after an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor; in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed as a first-line treatment for NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations; and as a single agent for NSCLC with exon 20 insertion mutations when the cancer progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. In every case, patients must first be confirmed to carry the relevant mutation by an FDA-approved test.
