Eucalyptus and Glasdegib

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Glasdegib

Glasdegib falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Eucalyptus interacts with.

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP3A4, although this has not been reported in humans.
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, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the short version: your body relies on a liver enzyme called CYP3A4 to break down and clear glasdegib. Lab studies hint that eucalyptus oil might slow that enzyme down a bit. If that happened, glasdegib could build up more than expected, which in theory could mean stronger side effects like a longer heart QT interval, muscle aches and cramps, nausea, fatigue, or low blood counts.

I want to be honest, though: this is only test-tube evidence, and it hasn't actually been seen in people. Casual eucalyptus use, like a vapor rub or a cough lozenge, is very unlikely to matter. Still, glasdegib is serious cancer therapy, so loop in your oncology team or pharmacist before using any eucalyptus product, and never swallow the oil.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Glasdegib page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would take off the table for anyone on glasdegib (Daurismo), a targeted pill for acute myeloid leukemia. It can push glasdegib levels up because the drug is cleared by the CYP3A4 enzyme, and 121 of the 146 ingredients touch that pathway, some raising its level and others, like St.”

About Eucalyptus

What is Eucalyptus?

Eucalyptus
  • Cough and chest congestion
  • Colds and flu symptoms
  • Stuffy nose
  • Sore throat
  • Minor muscle and joint aches
  • Aromatherapy

Eucalyptus is best known for its strong-smelling oil used in vapor rubs, inhalants, and lozenges to ease coughs and congestion. It may provide mild, short-term relief of cold symptoms, but the oil is toxic if swallowed and must never be taken by mouth undiluted. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially in children, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.

About Glasdegib

What Is Glasdegib Used For?

Brand name: Daurismo

Daurismo (glasdegib) is approved to treat newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) — a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is used specifically in adults who are 75 years of age or older, or in adults of any age whose other health conditions make intensive induction chemotherapy too risky.

Daurismo is not used alone. It is always given together with low-dose cytarabine, a separate chemotherapy medicine, as part of a 28-day treatment cycle.
