Lychee and Tildrakizumab-Asmn

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Minor

IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS

Why this applies to Tildrakizumab-Asmn

Tildrakizumab-Asmn falls under IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS — the group Lychee interacts with.

Theoretically, lychee might reduce the effectiveness of immunosuppressant drugs.
In vitro, flavonoids extracted from lychee show immunostimulant effects. So far, this effect has not been reported in humans.
Severity Minor Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist with Ilumya (tildrakizumab) and lychee. This is a very gentle, theory-only concern. In a lab dish, certain plant compounds (flavonoids) from lychee seemed to give the immune system a little nudge upward. Since Ilumya works by quieting one part of your immune response to calm psoriasis, the idea is that an immune-boosting effect might, in theory, work against it and slightly dull how well it controls your red, scaly plaques.

The honest truth: this has never actually been seen in people, and it's based only on test-tube data. Eating lychee as a fruit is very unlikely to matter. I'd be more thoughtful about concentrated lychee extracts. If your psoriasis seems to flare, just mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.

About Lychee

What is Lychee?

  • General nutrition and antioxidant support
  • Digestive complaints (traditional use)
  • Cough and sore throat (traditional use)
  • Blood sugar support (preliminary)
  • Weight and metabolic support (preliminary)

Lychee is a sweet tropical fruit that is nutritious and a source of vitamin C and antioxidant plant compounds. While the fruit is a healthy food for most people, supplement-strength extracts have only limited research behind specific health claims, and eating large amounts of unripe lychee on an empty stomach has been linked to dangerous low blood sugar in undernourished children. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using lychee extracts for any health condition.
