Jequirity and Anacaulase-bcdb

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Anacaulase-bcdb

Anacaulase-bcdb falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Jequirity interacts with.

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that constituents of jequirity beans can inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, jequirity might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

First, a big safety note: jequirity seeds are extremely poisonous. They contain abrin, a toxin in the same family as ricin, and they should never be taken as a supplement or remedy at all. So the practical answer here is that this combination simply shouldn't happen.

That said, the interaction on file is only theoretical, based on lab studies suggesting jequirity may slow platelets from clumping. Anacaulase-bcdb (NexoBrid) is a gel made from bromelain enzymes that doctors apply directly onto severe burns to remove dead tissue. Because it's used on a wound bed, there's already some chance of local oozing or bleeding, and anything that thins the blood could in theory add to that. This is a hospital-applied treatment, so your burn team is watching closely. If you have any questions, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
