Interaction report

Japanese Persimmon and Ribociclib Succinate

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 Ribociclib Succinate and Japanese Persimmon 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.

Japanese Persimmon safety at a glance

Japanese Persimmon overall Use caution The fruit is safe as food, but eating large amounts of unripe persimmons may cause hard masses (bezoars) in the stomach.

Pregnancy Use caution Eating the fruit as food is likely fine, but concentrated leaf or calyx supplements have not been well studied, so avoid those.

Breastfeeding Use caution The fruit as food is likely fine, but there is not enough data on concentrated supplements, so use caution.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ribociclib Succinate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ribociclib Succinate is filed under 5 classifications — including qt interval-prolonging drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inhibitors, hepatotoxic drugs. Japanese Persimmon has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and antihypertensive drugs (moderate) — and none of Ribociclib Succinate’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 Ribociclib Succinate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Japanese Persimmon. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ribociclib Succinate’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 magnesium Worth acting on
A low white blood cell count Worth acting on mentioned in 12.7% of FDA reports for Ribociclib Succinate
Low potassium Worth acting on
A heart attack Worth acting on
Blood clots Worth acting on
Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
Heart failure Worth acting on
Fainting Worth acting on
An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
A severe skin reaction Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 42 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 Ribociclib Succinate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 30,529 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ribociclib Succinate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Japanese Persimmon’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Japanese Persimmon side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Japanese Persimmon has no side effects.

About Japanese Persimmon

What is Japanese Persimmon?

High blood pressure
Cough and hiccups (traditional use)
Antioxidant support
Digestive health and fiber
Skin and general wellness

Japanese persimmon is a nutritious fruit rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidant plant compounds, and its leaves and calyx are used in traditional medicine. While eating the fruit as food is generally safe and healthy, the evidence for concentrated supplements or leaf extracts treating specific conditions is limited. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using persimmon products medicinally.

Diospyros kaki · Ebenaceae · Fruit, leaves, and the dried fruit calyx (persimmon stalk) · Fresh or dried fruit, tea (often from leaves), powder, capsules, and extracts

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

Japanese Persimmon: dosing

There is no standardized or proven medicinal dose for persimmon supplements. As a food, persimmon is simply eaten as a fresh or dried fruit. For leaf teas, powders, and capsules, the right amount varies by product.If you choose to use a persimmon supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Ribociclib

What Is Ribociclib Used For?

Brand name: Kisqali

Kisqali is used to treat adults with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. For early breast cancer (stage II or III, at high risk of recurrence), Kisqali is used together with an aromatase inhibitor as adjuvant treatment — meaning it's given after initial treatment to help reduce the chance the cancer comes back.

For advanced or metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread), Kisqali is used in combination with either an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant — either as the first hormone-based treatment or after the cancer has progressed on another hormone therapy.
