Pao Pereira and Regorafenib

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 Regorafenib and Pao Pereira 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 Pao Pereira at all — not against Regorafenib, 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.

What Regorafenib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Pao Pereira. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Regorafenib’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 take both. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Tiredness mentioned in 23.6% of FDA reports for Regorafenib
  • Reduced appetite mentioned in 9.5% of FDA reports for Regorafenib
  • Weight loss
  • Diarrhea mentioned in 12.3% of FDA reports for Regorafenib
  • Fever
  • Stomach pain

Showing the 10 most notable of 12 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Regorafenib. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 11,442 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Regorafenib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Pao Pereira’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Pao Pereira side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Pao Pereira has no side effects.

Overlapping uses

What Regorafenib Is Prescribed For, and What Pao Pereira Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Regorafenib is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Pao Pereira is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Regorafenib is prescribed for: Stivarga is approved to treat three types of advanced cancer in adults. It is used for metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer that has spread) after prior chemotherapy and targeted therapy; for locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after two previous treatments; and for hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) after treatment with sorafenib. All three uses are specific to Stivarga tablets taken by mouth. It is intended for patients whose cancer has progressed despite earlier lines of therapy.

Pao Pereira has been studied for:

  • Cancer studied, not established Pao Pereira has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Pao Pereira for cancer

    Although there has been interest in using oral pao pereira for cancer, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of pao pereira 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 Regorafenib on your own; if you are taking Pao Pereira for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Regorafenib

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Regorafenib page

“Regorafenib (Stivarga) is a targeted oral cancer therapy, and with a drug like this the goal is keeping its blood level inside a fairly tight window, so the 138 supplements and herbs on this page deserve real respect. Nearly all of them, 121 in total, can shift how the liver enzyme CYP3A4 processes the drug, nudging its level up or down.”

About Pao Pereira

What is Pao Pereira?

  • Immune support
  • Cancer support (complementary use)
  • Antimalarial/fever (traditional)
  • Digestive complaints (traditional)
  • General tonic

Pao Pereira is a bark extract from a South American tree that is marketed mainly as a complementary cancer and immune-support supplement. Human evidence is very limited, and most research comes from laboratory and animal studies, so it should not be used in place of proven medical care. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you have a serious health condition.

Geissospermum laeve · Apocynaceae · Bark (and bark extract) · Capsules, tinctures, liquid extracts, powdered bark

Pao Pereira: dosing
