Drug & supplement interaction

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) + Etravirine

Etravirine brand name: Intelence.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine 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

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine

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 Etravirine and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Etravirine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Etravirine is filed under 9 classifications — including non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (nnrtis), cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors. Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) has documented interactions with 10 drug classes — the most serious being alcohol (ethanol) (major), cns depressants (major) and divalprox sodium (depakote) (major) — and none of Etravirine’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

Keep it in perspective

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) Does Interact With Other Medications

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) has 249 major, 21 moderate, 5 minor known drug interactions in our database — Etravirine isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine 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. 5 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Showing the 10 most notable of 13 shared effects — ranked by how unusual each one is, not just whether both lists mention it.

Reported for Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) but not commonly for Etravirine: hallucinations, raised blood pressure, a fast or pounding heartbeat and a slow heartbeat.

Effects for Etravirine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 4,422 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Etravirine 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.

About Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb)

What is Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb)?

  • Narcolepsy (cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness)
  • Sleep aid
  • Misused as a recreational 'party drug'
  • Bodybuilding/muscle building (unproven)
  • Alcohol withdrawal (in some countries)

GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) is a powerful central nervous system depressant that is NOT a safe dietary supplement. In the U.S. it is a controlled substance, and only a tightly regulated prescription form (sodium oxybate) is legal for narcolepsy. Non-prescription GHB can cause coma, breathing failure, and death, and it is also a known 'date-rape' drug — it should not be taken outside of medical supervision.

Liquid solution, powder, prescription oral solution (sodium oxybate)

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

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb): dosing

There is no safe over-the-counter or supplement dose of GHB. Because illicit products are not standardized, there is no reliable way to measure a safe amount, and small differences can cause overdose.The only legitimate use is the prescription medication sodium oxybate, which is dosed and monitored by a doctor through a special safety program. Do not attempt to use GHB on your own.

About Etravirine

What Is Etravirine Used For?

Brand name: Intelence

Etravirine (brand name Intelence) is used to treat HIV-1 infection in people who have already received other antiretroviral (HIV) treatments — meaning it is meant for patients whose HIV has had a chance to develop resistance to earlier therapies. It is always used as part of a combination regimen with other HIV medications, never on its own.

Both the brand Intelence and generic etravirine tablets are approved for adults and for children ages 2 to under 18 who weigh at least 10 kg (about 22 pounds) and who have already been treated with other HIV drugs.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Etravirine

Taking Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) with Etravirine?
We do not list a known interaction between Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 10 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) and Etravirine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Etravirine is filed under 9 classifications, and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) has documented interactions with 10 drug classes — none of Etravirine's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) interact with any other medications?
Yes. Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) has 275 documented drug interactions in our database — Etravirine is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Etravirine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Etravirine has documented interactions with 169 supplements in our database — Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) is not one of them. The Etravirine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
