The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Hollyhock and Pralsetinib 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 label for Pralsetinib states a food rule worth keeping to.

Hollyhock and Pralsetinib

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 Pralsetinib and Hollyhock 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.

Hollyhock safety at a glance

Hollyhock overall Use caution Generally considered gentle, but human safety data are limited.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data during breastfeeding, so avoid use.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Pralsetinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pralsetinib is filed under 5 classifications — including qt interval-prolonging drugs, p-glycoprotein substrates, hepatotoxic drugs. Hollyhock has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Pralsetinib’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.

What Pralsetinib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Hollyhock. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pralsetinib’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on mentioned in 5.5% of FDA reports for Pralsetinib
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on mentioned in 5.6% of FDA reports for Pralsetinib
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 40 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Pralsetinib. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,699 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pralsetinib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Hollyhock’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Hollyhock side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Hollyhock has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Pralsetinib Products Have a Food Rule — Hollyhock Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Pralsetinib says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Hollyhock included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Pralsetinib on its own and move Hollyhock to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Pralsetinib products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.1 , 14 ) The recommended dosage in adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older is 400 mg orally once daily on an empty stomach (no food intake for at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after taking GAVRETO).

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Pralsetinib — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pralsetinib page

“With pralsetinib (Gavreto), a targeted therapy for RET-driven lung and thyroid cancers, I would treat this list as required reading rather than background noise. Most of the interactions change how much of the drug the body actually gets: grapefruit can push its levels higher, while St.”

About Hollyhock

What is Hollyhock?

  • Sore throat and cough
  • Digestive upset
  • Soothing irritated skin
  • Mild inflammation
  • Urinary discomfort

Hollyhock is a flowering plant in the mallow family that has been used in traditional medicine, mainly as a soothing (demulcent) remedy for the throat, gut, and skin. Solid human studies are very limited, so its benefits are not well proven. It is generally considered gentle, but you should still talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Alcea rosea · Malvaceae · Flowers, leaves, and roots · Tea, dried flowers, extracts, topical preparations

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

Hollyhock: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for hollyhock. Traditional use most often involves a tea made from the dried flowers or leaves.Because products vary in strength and form, the safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

About Pralsetinib

What Is Pralsetinib Used For?

Brand name: Gavreto

Gavreto (pralsetinib) is used to treat adults with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) — a type of lung cancer that has spread and carries a specific genetic alteration detected by an FDA-approved test.

Gavreto is also approved for adults and children aged 12 and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who need systemic (whole-body) treatment and whose cancer no longer responds to radioactive iodine (when radioactive iodine is an appropriate option). This thyroid cancer use is under accelerated approval, meaning continued approval depends on results from confirmatory clinical trials.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Pralsetinib

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,788 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Product prescribing issue 181 reports
Fatigue 126 reports
Asthenia 116 reports

Taking Hollyhock and Pralsetinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Hollyhock with Pralsetinib?

Should I take Hollyhock and Pralsetinib at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Pralsetinib says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake.

Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Hollyhock and Pralsetinib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Pralsetinib is filed under 5 classifications, and Hollyhock has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Pralsetinib'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.
