Drug & supplement interaction

Hops + Belinostat

Belinostat brand name: Beleodaq.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Hops and Belinostat 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.

Hops and Belinostat

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 Belinostat and Hops 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.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Belinostat

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Belinostat is filed under 4 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors, glucuronidated drugs, p-glycoprotein substrates. Hops has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being cns depressants (moderate), estrogens (moderate) and cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (minor) — and none of Belinostat’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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Hops and Belinostat 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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Reported for Hops but not commonly for Belinostat: an allergic reaction and bleeding or bruising.

Effects for Belinostat come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Hops come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 347 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Belinostat 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Belinostat page

“Belinostat (Beleodaq) is chemotherapy for peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and the 83 supplement interactions on record for it deserve real scrutiny, not a skim. Four rate major, and they cluster around two dangers.”

About Hops

What is Hops?

Hops
  • Sleep problems and insomnia
  • Anxiety and restlessness
  • Menopausal symptoms
  • Mild digestive complaints
  • Flavoring in beer and food

Hops are most often used for sleep and mild anxiety, frequently combined with valerian, but the human evidence is limited and not very strong. They are generally well tolerated when used short-term, though they may cause drowsiness, and should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because their safety is unknown.

Humulus lupulus · Cannabaceae · Female flowers (cones or strobiles) and their extracts · Capsules, tablets, tinctures, teas, dried flowers, and combination sleep formulas (often with valerian)

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

Hops: dosing

There is no well-established standardized dose for hops, and products vary widely in strength and form. Many sleep products combine hops with valerian, which makes a single recommended dose hard to define.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them. For sleep aids, short-term use is generally preferred over long-term daily use.

About Belinostat Injection

What Is Belinostat Injection Used For?

Brand name: Beleodaq

Beleodaq (belinostat) injection is approved to treat adult patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) — a fast-growing type of lymphoma (blood cancer) that either came back after treatment or never fully responded to it.

This approval is based on how well the cancer responded to the drug, including how long those responses lasted. Whether Beleodaq extends overall survival or improves disease-related symptoms has not yet been established. Continued approval may depend on results from a confirmatory trial.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Belinostat

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (347 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Disease progression 73 reports
Nausea 58 reports
Anemia 46 reports
Vomiting 42 reports
Dyspnea 35 reports

Taking Hops and Belinostat Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Hops with Belinostat?
We do not list a known interaction between Hops and Belinostat. 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 Hops and Belinostat have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 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 Hops and Belinostat combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Belinostat is filed under 4 classifications, and Hops has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Belinostat'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 Hops interact with any other medications?
Yes. Hops has 863 documented drug interactions in our database — Belinostat 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 Belinostat interact with any supplements?
Yes. Belinostat has documented interactions with 83 supplements in our database — Hops is not one of them. The Belinostat interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
