Mastic + Darolutamide
Darolutamide brand name: Nubeqa.
We found no known interaction between Mastic and Darolutamide 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 Darolutamide states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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.
Mastic and Darolutamide
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 Darolutamide and Mastic 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 Mastic at all — not against Darolutamide, 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.
Mastic safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Darolutamide Products Have a Food Rule — Mastic Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Darolutamide says to take it with food. If you take Mastic on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Darolutamide with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Darolutamide 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.
Take NUBEQA with food.

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.
What Darolutamide Is Prescribed For, and What Mastic Has Been Studied For
These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Darolutamide is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Mastic is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.
Darolutamide is prescribed for: Nubeqa (darolutamide) tablets are approved for adult men with two forms of advanced prostate cancer. The first is non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) — cancer that keeps growing despite hormone-lowering therapy and has not yet spread to other parts of the body. The second is metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) — cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone-lowering treatment. For mCSPC, Nubeqa can be used alone or in combination with docetaxel (a chemotherapy medicine).

In all cases, patients also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist — a medicine that lowers testosterone — or have already had surgery to remove the testicles.

Cancer studied, not established Mastic has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows
Mastic for cancer
Although there has been interest in using oral mastic for cancer, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of mastic for this purpose.
Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Darolutamide on your own; if you are taking Mastic for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.
See Every Supplement That Interacts With Darolutamide
This page covers Mastic only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Darolutamide page lists 144 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 · 103 moderate · 38 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Darolutamide page
“Darolutamide (Nubeqa) treats prostate cancer, and supplements deserve real caution alongside it, because most of those listed here can change how much of the drug stays in your blood. Nearly all act on CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that breaks darolutamide down, or on the transport proteins that move it through cells.”

About Mastic
What is Mastic?
- Indigestion and stomach upset
- Stomach ulcers and H. pylori support
- Oral and gum health
- Bad breath
- General antioxidant/anti-inflammatory support
Mastic is a resin from the mastic tree that has a long history of use for digestive complaints and oral health. Some small studies suggest it may help with indigestion, stomach ulcers, and dental hygiene, but the evidence is limited and not conclusive. It is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it as a supplement, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pistacia lentiscus · Anacardiaceae · Resin (gum) from the tree; sometimes the essential oil · Capsules, chewable gum/resin tears, powder, essential oil, mouthwash, toothpaste
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Mastic is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Mastic record says about it on its own.
Mastic: dosing
There is no official or standardized dose of mastic. Studies have used different forms and amounts, so it is hard to recommend one exact dose. The strength of capsules, powders, and chewing products can vary a lot between brands.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the suggested amount. Because supplements are not tightly regulated, choose a reputable brand when possible.
