Interaction report

Low Purine Diet and Axitinib

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 Axitinib and Low Purine Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Low Purine Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Low Purine Diet at all — not against Axitinib, 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.

Low Purine Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. 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

What Axitinib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Low Purine Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Axitinib’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you follow Low Purine Diet and take the medicine. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
Dehydration Worth acting on
High potassium Worth acting on
Low sodium Worth acting on
Blood clots Worth acting on
Pancreatitis Worth acting on
Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
Heart failure Worth acting on
High blood sugar Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Axitinib. Read the label on DailyMed › Low Purine Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Low Purine Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Low Purine Diet has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Axitinib

This page covers Low Purine Diet only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Axitinib page lists 138 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 94 moderate · 41 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Axitinib page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would take off the table on axitinib (Inlyta), a targeted therapy for advanced kidney cancer. It blocks the liver enzyme (CYP3A4) that clears axitinib, so levels climb and side effects with them.”

Where does our data come from?

What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

Eating pattern

About Low Purine Diet

What is Low Purine Diet?

Gout management
Lowering uric acid levels
Preventing kidney stones (uric acid stones)
Reducing gout flare-ups

A low purine diet is an eating plan that limits foods high in purines, which the body breaks down into uric acid. It is mainly used to help manage gout and certain kidney stones, often alongside medication. While it can lower uric acid somewhat, diet alone usually is not enough for most people with gout, so work with your doctor on a full treatment plan.

Dietary pattern (meal plan), not a supplement

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

Low Purine Diet: dosing

There is no fixed "dose" for a low purine diet because it is an eating pattern, not a pill. In general, the goal is to limit high-purine foods (organ meats, red meat, certain seafood, beer, and sugary drinks) while eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.Drinking plenty of water and limiting alcohol are also key parts of the plan.

About Axitinib

What Is Axitinib Used For?

Brand name: Inlyta

Axitinib (brand name Inlyta) is used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a type of kidney cancer. Inlyta can be used as a first-line treatment — meaning the very first treatment you receive — when combined with either avelumab or pembrolizumab, two other cancer medicines.

Inlyta is also approved as a single agent (on its own) for patients with advanced RCC who have already tried one other systemic (body-wide) cancer therapy that did not work or stopped working.
