Drug & supplement interaction

Lactobacillus Gasseri + Dasatinib

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib 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.

Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib

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 Dasatinib and Lactobacillus Gasseri 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dasatinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dasatinib is filed under 3 classifications — qt interval-prolonging drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Lactobacillus Gasseri has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antibiotic drugs (moderate) — and none of Dasatinib’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 Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib May Share a Side Effect

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.

  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on Additional detail

    Lactobacillus Gasseri

    “Since Lactobacillus gasseri preparations contain live and active microorganisms, there is some concern that they might cause pathogenic infection in some patients. Some lactobacilli species have been isolated in cases of bacteremia, sepsis, splenic abscess, endocarditis, necrotizing fasciitis, pancreatic necrosis, and meningoencephalitis.”

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dasatinib. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Effects for Dasatinib come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Lactobacillus Gasseri come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 36,952 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dasatinib 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 Dasatinib page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would take off the table for anyone on dasatinib (Sprycel, Phyrago), a targeted leukemia therapy where a steady blood level is the whole point of treatment. It blocks CYP3A4, the enzyme that clears dasatinib, letting levels climb, and 121 of the 146 supplements on file act on that same pathway.”

About Lactobacillus Gasseri

What is Lactobacillus Gasseri?

  • Digestive health
  • Weight and belly fat management
  • Vaginal and urinary health
  • Bloating and gut discomfort
  • General immune support

Lactobacillus gasseri is a 'friendly' probiotic bacterium found naturally in the human gut, mouth, and vaginal tract, and in some fermented foods. Early research suggests it may help with digestion, weight management, and vaginal health, but the evidence is limited and far from conclusive. It is generally well tolerated in healthy people, but anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has a weakened immune system should talk to a pharmacist or doctor first.

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

Lactobacillus Gasseri: dosing

There is no official standardized dose of L. gasseri. Probiotic amounts are usually measured in colony-forming units (CFUs), and products vary widely.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Taking Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Lactobacillus Gasseri with Dasatinib?
We do not list a known interaction between Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib. 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 Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one 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 Lactobacillus Gasseri and Dasatinib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Dasatinib is filed under 3 classifications, and Lactobacillus Gasseri has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Dasatinib'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 Lactobacillus Gasseri interact with any other medications?
Yes. Lactobacillus Gasseri has 182 documented drug interactions in our database — Dasatinib 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 Dasatinib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Dasatinib has documented interactions with 146 supplements in our database — Lactobacillus Gasseri is not one of them. The Dasatinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
