Nikko Maple and nilotinib

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 nilotinib and Nikko Maple 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 Nikko Maple at all — not against nilotinib, 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.

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Nikko Maple is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).

About Nikko Maple

What is Nikko Maple?

  • Traditional folk remedies
  • Eye and vision-related folk uses
  • General wellness/tonic use
  • Source of maple-type sap

Nikko Maple is an ornamental Asian maple tree with very little scientific study as a health supplement. There is not enough reliable evidence to recommend it for any health condition, and its safety has not been well established—so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Acer maximowiczianum · Sapindaceae · Bark, leaves, and sap (limited traditional use) · Not commonly sold as a standardized supplement; occasionally found as bark extracts or sap

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

Nikko Maple: dosing

About Nilotinib

What Is Nilotinib Used For?

Brand name: Tasigna

  • Nilotinib is used to treat certain types of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML; a type of cancer of the white blood cells) who have recently found to have this condition in adults and children 1 year of age and older. It is also used to treat certain types of CML in adults whose disease could not be treated successfully with imatinib (Gleevec) or adults who cannot take imatinib because of side effects. Nilotinib is also used to treat certain types of CML in children 1 year of age or older whose disease could not be treated successfully with other tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies or who cannot take these medications because of side effects. Nilotinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.
