Repotrectinib falls under ORAL DRUGS — the group European Mandrake interacts with.

Theoretically, concurrent use might increase absorption of some drugs because of inhibited gastrointestinal (GI) motility caused by European mandrake.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Interaction 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..

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Let me start with the most important point: European mandrake is genuinely toxic and shouldn't be taken at all. It's a poisonous nightshade plant, not a safe supplement, so please don't use it in any form.

Here's the theory behind this pairing. Mandrake's tropane alkaloids slow down how fast your gut moves things along. Repotrectinib (Augtyro) is an oral cancer medicine that treats certain lung tumors and solid tumors with specific gene changes. If your gut empties more slowly, your body may absorb a bit more of it, which could nudge up side effects like dizziness, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, fatigue, or trouble with balance and thinking. This is a theoretical concern based on how these substances behave, not something proven in studies. Repotrectinib is not a prodrug, so more absorption means stronger effects, not weaker ones. Please talk with your oncology team or pharmacist before mixing anything with Augtyro.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Repotrectinib page

“If you take repotrectinib (Augtyro) for ROS1-positive lung cancer or an NTRK-driven tumor, this list calls for real caution, not a quick skim. Repotrectinib relies on the CYP3A4 enzyme to leave your body, and most of the 186 entries here can push its blood level up or drag it down.”

About European Mandrake

What is European Mandrake?

European Mandrake
  • Insomnia (traditional)
  • Pain relief (historical)
  • Anxiety or depression (folk use)
  • Gout and aches (traditional)
  • Sedation or anesthesia (historical)

European mandrake is a highly toxic plant from the nightshade family that was used in ancient and medieval times as a sedative and pain reliever. It contains powerful poisons that can cause serious harm or death, and there is no proof it safely treats any condition. We strongly recommend you do not consume mandrake in any form.
