Drug & supplement interaction

Lemon + Entrectinib

Entrectinib brand name: Rozlytrek.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lemon and Entrectinib 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.

Interaction report

Lemon and Entrectinib

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 Entrectinib and Lemon 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.

Lemon safety at a glance

Lemon overall Generally safe Lemon as a food or drink is safe for most people in normal amounts.
Pregnancy Use caution Lemon as a food is fine, but avoid concentrated supplements or essential oils unless your doctor approves.
Breastfeeding Use caution Lemon in food is generally fine; medicinal amounts or essential oils have not been well studied.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Entrectinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Entrectinib is filed under 4 classifications — including qt interval-prolonging drugs, hepatotoxic drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Lemon has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being itraconazole (sporanox) (minor) — and none of Entrectinib’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Lemon and Entrectinib 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.

  • Stomach upset Additional detail

    Lemon

    “Orally, fresh lemon juice, taken as 60 mL twice daily, has been reported to cause gastrointestinal disturbances in 37% of patients in one clinical trial, compared with 8% of patients in the placebo group. Specifically, of the patients consuming lemon juice, 21% experienced heartburn and 8% experienced epigastralgia, compared to 1% and 3%, respectively, in the placebo group.”

    Entrectinib

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

Reported for Lemon but not commonly for Entrectinib: heartburn.

Effects for Entrectinib come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Lemon come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,653 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Entrectinib 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.

About Lemon

What is Lemon?

  • Vitamin C source
  • Digestive support
  • Flavoring and aromatherapy
  • Skin and hair care
  • Sore throat and cold relief
  • Kidney stone prevention (dietary)

Lemon is a common citrus fruit that is a good source of vitamin C and citric acid, and it is widely used in food, drinks, and home remedies. While it can support hydration and a healthy diet, most claimed medicinal benefits are not strongly proven. As a food, lemon is very safe for most people, but concentrated essential oils and extracts call for more caution.

Citrus limon · Rutaceae · Fruit (juice, pulp, and peel), essential oil · Fresh fruit, juice, peel/zest, essential oil, tea, capsules, extracts

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

Lemon: dosing

There is no official standardized medicinal dose for lemon. Most people simply use it as a food or flavoring, such as adding lemon juice to water, tea, or meals.For supplements, extracts, or essential oils, there is no well-established dose, so follow the product label and do not exceed the suggested amount. Essential oils are very concentrated and should be diluted properly and never swallowed without professional guidance.

About Entrectinib

What Is Entrectinib Used For?

Brand name: Rozlytrek

Rozlytrek is used to treat adult patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) — a type of lung cancer where the ROS1 gene is rearranged — as confirmed by an FDA-approved test.

Rozlytrek is also approved for adult and pediatric patients older than 1 month with solid tumors that have an NTRK gene fusion (a specific genetic alteration), detected by an FDA-approved test, that have spread or cannot be removed without causing serious harm, and have worsened after prior treatment or have no good treatment alternatives. This NTRK indication was granted accelerated approval based on tumor response rates; continued approval may depend on results from confirmatory trials.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Entrectinib

Taking Lemon and Entrectinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Lemon with Entrectinib?
We do not list a known interaction between Lemon and Entrectinib. 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 Lemon and Entrectinib 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 Lemon and Entrectinib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Entrectinib is filed under 4 classifications, and Lemon has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Entrectinib'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 Lemon interact with any other medications?
Yes. Lemon has 1 documented drug interaction in our database — Entrectinib 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 Entrectinib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Entrectinib has documented interactions with 175 supplements in our database — Lemon is not one of them. The Entrectinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
