Drug & supplement interaction

Liverwort + Fostamatinib

Fostamatinib brand name: Tavalisse.

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 Liverwort and Fostamatinib 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

Liverwort and Fostamatinib

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 Fostamatinib and Liverwort 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Liverwort at all — not against Fostamatinib, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Liverwort and Fostamatinib May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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.

  • Diarrhea Additional detail

    Liverwort

    “Orally, fresh liverwort has been reported to cause diarrhea, gastrointestinal irritation (18), and kidney and urinary tract irritation (2). Topically, fresh liverwort has been reported to cause irritation, itching, and pustule formation known as ranunculus dermatitis (2). There is currently a limited amount of information available on the adverse effects of dried liverwort.”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Fostamatinib page

“I would treat the supplement list for fostamatinib (Tavalisse), a medicine that raises platelet counts in chronic immune thrombocytopenia, with real care. Most of what shows up here involves CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that clears fostamatinib, so grapefruit can drive its blood level up while St.”

About Liverwort

What is Liverwort?

Liverwort
  • Liver and gallbladder complaints
  • Digestive upset
  • Mild gallbladder discomfort
  • Respiratory or throat irritation
  • Skin conditions (traditional use)

Liverwort (Anemone hepatica) is a traditional herb once used for liver, gallbladder, and digestive complaints, but there is no reliable human research showing it works for any condition. The fresh plant belongs to the buttercup family and can irritate the skin and digestive tract, so it should only be used dried and with caution. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Anemone hepatica · Ranunculaceae · Above-ground parts (leaves and flowers) · Tea, dried herb, tincture, capsules

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

Liverwort: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for liverwort. Because it has not been studied in proper clinical trials, no safe and effective amount has been confirmed.If you choose to use a product that contains liverwort, follow the directions on the label and use only properly dried material, never the fresh plant. When in doubt, choose better-studied options with a clearer safety record.

About Fostamatinib

What Is Fostamatinib Used For?

Brand name: Tavalisse

Tavalisse (fostamatinib) is used to treat thrombocytopenia — dangerously low platelet counts — in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). It is specifically for people whose platelet counts have not improved enough with at least one earlier ITP treatment.

The goal is to raise platelet counts high enough to reduce the risk of serious bleeding. If platelet counts do not respond sufficiently after 12 weeks, the medication is typically stopped.

Do Liverwort and Fostamatinib have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.
