Hydrangea and Cabozantinib S-Malate

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 Cabozantinib S-Malate and Hydrangea 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.

Hydrangea safety at a glance

Hydrangea overall Use caution Human safety data are limited, and large or prolonged doses may cause unwanted effects.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information exists, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid There is no reliable safety data, so avoid use 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 Cabozantinib S-Malate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Cabozantinib S-Malate is filed under 2 classifications — cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Hydrangea has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being lithium (moderate) — and none of Cabozantinib S-Malate’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

What Hydrangea Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Cabozantinib S-Malate. It is the side-effect record for Hydrangea on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Hydrangea, this list is the first place to look.

  • Dizziness Additional detail

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Hydrangea — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Cabozantinib S-Malate’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Cabozantinib S-Malate column appears here.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Cabozantinib S-Malate page

“Cabozantinib (Cabometyx) treats kidney, liver, and thyroid cancers, and because its dosing is calibrated carefully, its supplement list warrants genuine care. Of the 138 ingredients with a known interaction, the great majority involve the CYP3A4 enzyme that clears the drug, so an herb can push cabozantinib levels high enough to worsen…”

About Hydrangea

What is Hydrangea?

  • Kidney and bladder stones
  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Enlarged prostate symptoms
  • Mild diuretic (increasing urine)
  • Bladder infections (traditional use)

Hydrangea root has a long history in folk medicine, mainly for urinary and kidney stone complaints, but there is very little modern human research to confirm it works for any condition. Because safety data are limited and large amounts may be harmful, it is best to talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Hydrangea arborescens · Hydrangeaceae · Root and rhizome (underground stem) · Dried root, tincture, liquid extract, capsules, tea

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

Hydrangea: dosing

There is no well-established or standardized dose for hydrangea, because it has not been studied carefully in people. Traditional preparations used the dried root as a tea or tincture, but reliable, specific amounts are not available.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Cabozantinib

What Is Cabozantinib Used For?

Brand name: Cabometyx

Cabozantinib treats several types of cancer. Cabometyx (tablet) is used for advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) — either alone or combined with nivolumab as a first-line treatment — as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in patients previously treated with sorafenib, differentiated thyroid cancer that has progressed after prior therapy, and pancreatic or extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that have been previously treated. For thyroid cancer and NETs, Cabometyx is approved for adults and adolescents aged 12 and older.

Cometriq (capsule) is approved specifically for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (a different type of thyroid cancer). Cometriq and Cabometyx are not interchangeable — do not substitute one for the other.
