Myrcia + Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed brand names: Alimta, Pemfexy.
We found no known interaction between Myrcia and Pemetrexed 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.
Myrcia and Pemetrexed
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 Pemetrexed and Myrcia 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.
Myrcia safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Pemetrexed
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Pemetrexed is filed under a single classification — organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates. Myrcia has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being levothyroxine (synthroid, others) (moderate) — and none of Pemetrexed’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.
Myrcia Does Interact With Other Medications
Myrcia has 3 moderate known drug interactions in our database — Pemetrexed isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pemetrexed page
“Every supplement on file for pemetrexed (Alimta, Pemfexy) works the same way. Each can slow how the kidneys pull the drug out of the blood, which would let it linger and build to higher levels than intended.”

About Myrcia
What is Myrcia?
- Blood sugar support
- Digestive upset and diarrhea
- Mild urinary complaints
- Astringent for the gut
- Traditional 'pedra-hume-caa' folk remedy
Myrcia is a group of tropical shrubs and trees in the myrtle family, used in South American folk medicine—often as a tea—mainly for blood sugar and digestive complaints. Human evidence is very limited, so it should not replace proven treatments. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have diabetes or take other medicines.
Myrtaceae · Leaves (and sometimes bark) · Tea, dried leaf, capsules, liquid extracts
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Myrcia is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Myrcia record says about it on its own.
Myrcia: dosing
There is no established standardized dose for Myrcia. Traditional use is usually as a tea made from the dried leaves, but amounts vary widely and are not backed by clinical research.If you choose to try a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Pemetrexed Injection
What Is Pemetrexed Injection Used For?
Brand names: Alimta, Pemfexy
Pemetrexed Injection is used for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in several situations: as an initial treatment (combined with pembrolizumab and platinum chemotherapy, or with cisplatin alone), as a maintenance treatment after platinum-based chemotherapy, or as a single agent when the cancer has come back after prior chemotherapy. It is not used for squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer.
Pemetrexed Injection is also used, in combination with cisplatin, for the initial treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma — a cancer of the lining of the lungs — in patients whose disease cannot be surgically removed or who are not good candidates for surgery.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Pemetrexed
