Diosmin and Abrocitinib

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Diosmin interacts with whole categories of medication. Abrocitinib falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Diosmin in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES

1 of 2

Why this applies to Abrocitinib

Abrocitinib falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES — the group Diosmin interacts with.

Theoretically, diosmin might inhibit the metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.
Diclofenac is metabolized by CYP2C9 enzymes. Clinical and laboratory research shows that diosmin inhibits the metabolism of diclofenac. A pharmacokinetic study in humans shows that taking diosmin (Venex 500) 500 mg daily for 9 days prior to oral administration of diclofenac 100 mg increases blood levels of diclofenac and decreases diclofenac clearance.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for Cibinqo (abrocitinib): your body relies partly on a liver enzyme called CYP2C9 to clear this medicine out. Diosmin is thought to slow that same enzyme down. So in theory, pairing the two could let abrocitinib build up a bit higher than usual in your blood, which may nudge up the chance of side effects like nausea, headache, or, more importantly, a lower platelet count or higher infection risk that comes with quieting the immune system.

I want to be honest that this is a theoretical concern, based mostly on how diosmin behaved with a different drug (diclofenac), not abrocitinib itself. It may never cause a noticeable problem. Still, since abrocitinib is a serious immune medicine, please run it by your pharmacist or doctor before adding diosmin.

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

2 of 2

Abrocitinib also falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS.

Theoretically, diosmin may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
A case of spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported for a 77-year-old female after 6 weeks of warfarin therapy, despite an international normalized ratio (INR) of only 1.8. The patient had also been taking aspirin and diosmin for several years. Experts speculate that chronic intake of diosmin predisposed the patient to spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage by inducing chronic microcirculatory hypertension and inhibiting platelet aggregation. The presence of aspirin was also thought to play a role in this event.

Here's something worth keeping on your radar with Cibinqo (abrocitinib). This JAK inhibitor isn't a blood thinner by design, but it can lower your platelet count, especially in the first few weeks of treatment. Diosmin, the citrus flavonoid you're taking for vein or hemorrhoid support, has been linked in rare reports to a mild reduction in platelet clumping, which is part of how the body forms clots.

Stack those two together and you could, in theory, tip the balance toward easier bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding that takes longer to stop. To be honest, this is based on very limited, anecdotal evidence, mostly a single case that also involved warfarin and aspirin, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Still, since abrocitinib already affects platelets, mention the diosmin to your pharmacist or doctor and let them monitor your labs.

What These Ratings Mean

Every interaction above is graded three ways — here’s the key to each label.

Severity how clinically significant the interaction is
Major

Clinically significant. Avoid the combination, or use only under close professional supervision.

Moderate

Usually worth avoiding or managing — may need monitoring, a dose change, or timing apart.

Minor

Generally not serious. Be aware of it and mention it to your pharmacist.

Likelihood how strong the evidence is that the interaction actually happens in people
  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Evidence the quality of the studies behind the rating (graded A–D)
  • AHigh-quality meta-analysis (quantitative systematic review).
  • BCase-control study.
  • CConsensus.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Abrocitinib page

“Bleeding is where I'd focus first with abrocitinib (Cibinqo), an eczema pill that can itself lower platelet counts. Of the 290 supplements and herbs with an interaction on file, 202 have blood-thinning or antiplatelet activity, and two of the three major-rated entries, danshen and piracetam, sit in that group.”

About Abrocitinib

What Is Abrocitinib Used For?

Brand name: Cibinqo

Cibinqo (abrocitinib) is used to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults and children 12 years of age and older. It is specifically for people whose eczema has not been adequately controlled with other systemic (whole-body) treatments, including biologics, or when those treatments are not a safe option.

Cibinqo is not recommended to be used at the same time as other JAK inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, or other immunosuppressants (medicines that reduce immune system activity).
