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

We found no known interaction between Linden and Pralsetinib 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 label for Pralsetinib states a food rule worth keeping to.

Linden and Pralsetinib

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 Pralsetinib and Linden 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.

Linden safety at a glance

Linden overall Use caution Generally well tolerated as a tea, but human safety data are limited.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so avoiding it is the safer choice.
Breastfeeding Use caution Safety is not well studied; check with your doctor before use.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Pralsetinib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pralsetinib is filed under 5 classifications — including qt interval-prolonging drugs, p-glycoprotein substrates, hepatotoxic drugs. Linden has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being lithium (moderate) — and none of Pralsetinib’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 Linden Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Pralsetinib. It is the side-effect record for Linden on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Linden, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hives / An allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, there is one case report of allergic reaction to linden pollen in a linden flower tea (12). Topically, there is one case report of contact urticaria following the use of a linden extract-containing shampoo (12).”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Linden — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pralsetinib’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Pralsetinib column appears here.

How to take them

Some Pralsetinib Products Have a Food Rule — Linden Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Pralsetinib says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Linden included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Pralsetinib on its own and move Linden to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Pralsetinib products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.1 , 14 ) The recommended dosage in adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older is 400 mg orally once daily on an empty stomach (no food intake for at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after taking GAVRETO).

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Pralsetinib — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. See the Pralsetinib drug page ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pralsetinib page

“With pralsetinib (Gavreto), a targeted therapy for RET-driven lung and thyroid cancers, I would treat this list as required reading rather than background noise. Most of the interactions change how much of the drug the body actually gets: grapefruit can push its levels higher, while St.”

About Linden

What is Linden?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Colds and flu symptoms
  • Cough and sore throat
  • Mild digestive upset
  • Promoting sweating during fever

Linden (also called lime flower) is a traditional herbal tea long used to calm nerves, ease cold symptoms, and support restful sleep. Strong human evidence for these uses is lacking, but the flowers are generally considered safe as an occasional tea for most healthy adults. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it regularly, especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have a health condition.

Tilia cordata, Tilia platyphyllos · Malvaceae · Dried flowers (and bracts), sometimes leaves · Tea (infusion), tincture, liquid extract, capsules

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

Linden: dosing

There is no official standardized dose for linden. Traditionally it is taken as a tea made by steeping a small amount of the dried flowers in hot water, often once or a few times a day.Because products vary in strength, the best approach is to follow the directions on the product label.

From our Linden monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

About Pralsetinib

What Is Pralsetinib Used For?

Brand name: Gavreto

Gavreto (pralsetinib) is used to treat adults with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) — a type of lung cancer that has spread and carries a specific genetic alteration detected by an FDA-approved test.

Gavreto is also approved for adults and children aged 12 and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who need systemic (whole-body) treatment and whose cancer no longer responds to radioactive iodine (when radioactive iodine is an appropriate option). This thyroid cancer use is under accelerated approval, meaning continued approval depends on results from confirmatory clinical trials.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Pralsetinib

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,788 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Taking Linden and Pralsetinib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Linden with Pralsetinib?
We do not list a known interaction between Linden and Pralsetinib. 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.
Should I take Linden and Pralsetinib at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Pralsetinib says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Pralsetinib on its own and move Linden to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Linden and Pralsetinib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Pralsetinib is filed under 5 classifications, and Linden has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Pralsetinib'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 Linden interact with any other medications?
Yes. Linden has 1 documented drug interaction in our database — Pralsetinib 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 Pralsetinib interact with any supplements?
Yes. Pralsetinib has documented interactions with 181 supplements in our database — Linden is not one of them. The Pralsetinib interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
