Ground Ivy + Voxelotor
Voxelotor brand name: Oxbryta.
We found no known interaction between Ground Ivy and Voxelotor 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.
Ground Ivy and Voxelotor
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 Voxelotor and Ground Ivy 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.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Ground Ivy at all — not against Voxelotor, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Voxelotor page
“Anyone taking voxelotor (Oxbryta) for sickle cell disease should treat this list with real care, because the pattern behind it is unusually consistent. Almost every entry works through CYP3A4, the same liver enzyme that clears voxelotor, so these ingredients can push the drug's blood level higher or pull it lower, either adding side ef…”

About Ground Ivy
What is Ground Ivy?
- Coughs and upper respiratory complaints
- Digestive upset
- Kidney and bladder complaints
- Mild inflammation or arthritis
- Menstrual irregularities
Ground ivy is a creeping plant in the mint family that has a long history of folk use for coughs, digestive problems, and urinary complaints. Modern human studies are lacking, so its benefits are unproven. Because of safety concerns, it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and used cautiously by everyone else.
Glechoma hederacea · Lamiaceae · Above-ground parts (leaves, flowers, and stems) · Tea, tincture, dried herb, capsules, and occasionally fresh herb
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Ground Ivy is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Ground Ivy record says about it on its own.
Ground Ivy: dosing
There is no well-established or standardized dose for ground ivy. Traditional use most often involved a tea made from the dried leaves and flowering tops, or a tincture.Because product strength varies widely and reliable dosing studies are lacking, the safest approach is to follow the directions on a specific product's label and to start low.

About Voxelotor
What Is Voxelotor Used For?
Brand name: Oxbryta
Oxbryta (voxelotor) is approved to treat sickle cell disease (SCD) in adults and in children as young as 4 years old. It works by targeting the underlying problem in sickle cell disease — the abnormal hemoglobin that causes red blood cells to take on a rigid, sickle shape.
This approval was granted under the FDA's accelerated approval pathway, based on the drug's ability to raise hemoglobin levels. Continued approval may depend on results from confirmatory clinical trials showing broader clinical benefit.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Voxelotor
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (22,300 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
