Drug & supplement interaction

Glycine + Rucaparib Camsylate

Rucaparib Camsylate brand name: Rubraca.

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 Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate 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.

Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate

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 Rucaparib Camsylate and Glycine 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.

Glycine safety at a glance

Glycine overall Use caution Generally well tolerated at typical doses, but long-term safety data are limited.
Pregnancy Use caution Not enough reliable safety data, so it is best avoided unless your doctor approves.
Breastfeeding Use caution Not enough reliable safety data, so caution is advised while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Rucaparib Camsylate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Rucaparib Camsylate is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates, p-glycoprotein substrates, oral drugs. Glycine has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being clozapine (clozaril) (moderate) — and none of Rucaparib Camsylate’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate 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.

  • Trouble sleeping / Tiredness / Headache Additional detail

    Glycine

    “Mild sedation has occurred rarely with oral use of glycine. Symptoms resolve rapidly with discontinuation of glycine. Irritability, insomnia, fatigue, memory impairment, headache, and sensory impairment have been reported, but any association with glycine is unclear.”

About Glycine

What is Glycine?

Glycine
  • Sleep quality and insomnia
  • Relaxation
  • Cognitive function
  • Metabolic health
  • General wellness

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid your body makes on its own and that also appears in protein-rich foods. It is most studied for improving sleep quality, where early research is promising but limited, and it appears generally well tolerated at common doses. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, especially if you take other medicines or have a health condition.

Amino acid (made synthetically or by the body) · Powder, capsules, tablets

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

Glycine: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of glycine for any health condition. In sleep studies, a few grams taken before bedtime have been used, but the best dose for an individual is not established.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and start with the lowest amount.

About Rucaparib

What Is Rucaparib Used For?

Brand name: Rubraca

Rubraca (rucaparib) is used for two types of cancer in adults who carry a harmful BRCA gene mutation (either inherited or found in the tumor). First, it is used as maintenance treatment — meaning ongoing treatment to keep cancer from coming back — in people with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer who responded (fully or partially) to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Second, Rubraca treats metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone-lowering treatment) in adults who have already received androgen receptor-directed therapy. Patients must be tested with an FDA-approved companion diagnostic to confirm the BRCA mutation before starting Rubraca for prostate cancer.

Taking Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Glycine with Rucaparib Camsylate?
We do not list a known interaction between Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate. 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 Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 6 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 Glycine and Rucaparib Camsylate combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Rucaparib Camsylate is filed under 3 classifications, and Glycine has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Rucaparib Camsylate'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 Glycine interact with any other medications?
Yes. Glycine has 1 documented drug interaction in our database — Rucaparib Camsylate 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 Rucaparib Camsylate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Rucaparib Camsylate has documented interactions with 105 supplements in our database — Glycine is not one of them. The Rucaparib Camsylate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
