HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Mirikizumab-mrkz

Mirikizumab-mrkz falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Khella interacts with.

Theoretically, khella might have additive adverse effects on the liver when used with hepatotoxic drugs. Khella can increase liver transaminases. Some drugs that can adversely affect the liver include acetaminophen (Tylenol), amiodarone (Cordarone), carbamazepine (Tegretol), isoniazid (INH), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), methyldopa (Aldomet), and many others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

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 explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the concern with pairing khella and Omvoh (mirikizumab). This isn't about khella changing how the drug works or how fast your body clears it. Mirikizumab is a large antibody protein, so it isn't broken down by the usual liver enzymes the way a pill would be. Instead, the worry is simpler: both can be tough on your liver, and stacking them may add up.

Mirikizumab can occasionally raise liver enzymes on its own, and khella has been shown to bump those enzymes too. Together, that could mean a higher chance of liver irritation, which might show up as fatigue, belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. This is largely theoretical, so don't panic, but please check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding khella.
