Grape and Cablivi

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

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Cablivi

Cablivi falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Grape interacts with.

Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape extracts might decrease platelet aggregation.
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: Cablivi (caplacizumab) already lowers your body's ability to form clots, which is exactly how it treats aTTP. The concern with concentrated grape supplements, like grape seed extract, is that they may add a mild blood-thinning effect of their own by making platelets a little less sticky. Stacked on top of Cablivi, that could in theory raise your chance of bleeding, things like easy bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or harder-to-stop cuts.

I'll be honest, this is a theoretical worry based only on lab studies, not real patients, so don't panic. Eating grapes or drinking grape juice is very unlikely to matter. Since Cablivi is used in a serious condition, please run any grape supplement past your doctor or pharmacist first.

About Grape

What is Grape?

Grape
  • Antioxidant support
  • Heart and circulation health
  • Vein problems (such as varicose veins)
  • Eye health
  • General anti-inflammatory support

Grapes and grape products like grape seed extract contain antioxidant compounds such as resveratrol and proanthocyanidins that may support heart and blood vessel health. While the food is healthy and generally safe, the supplement evidence for treating specific conditions is mostly limited or preliminary. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting a grape supplement.
